Emergent
Emergent names the structural condition through which something arises from the interaction of conditions without a prior generative source. What appears was not already operative in any one condition; it arises through their meeting.
Generic names instances generated from a prior source. Emergent names arising without such a source.
Generic and Emergent name two ways something appears: from a prior generative source, or from the meeting of conditions.
Places
Emergent places the structural condition through which something arises from the interaction of conditions without a prior generative source — what was not already operative in any of the conditions it arises from.
Holds
Emergent is held by Natural Order and Root Order. Conditions must be operative and dependency order must hold before what arises without a prior source can be named.
Pairs
Emergent pairs with Generic. Emergent names what arises from conditions without a prior generative source; Generic names what generates instances from a prior structural source. Each requires the other to be locatable: emergence is only nameable against what comes from a prior source; a generative source is only nameable against what arises without one.
Traces
Nests
Emergent nests at Ground as the condition through which new structural patterns arise from the meeting of what is already operative — where what appears was not pre-given in any condition separately.
Reads
Emergent becomes recognisable where a structural condition arises from the interaction of prior conditions — where what appears was not already operative in any condition separately.
Emergent Condition is the first-order class of conditions that arise through asymmetry before operation.
