Emergent Systems
Emergence is a concept that is coming up in the modern ways of life. The concept is used to illustrate various aspects of life and unexplored areas such as financial markets, organized religion, social sciences and other new events. Emergent properties are collective and do not occur individually, and someone can track the cause through the interrelationship between the components of the comprising system. However, the nature of the interactions is more significant compared to the identity. As a result, it is important to understand the flocking behaviors of the system’s components. The emergent system has become essential in various aspects of life such as the computer science that uses for various functions such as control of robots or flocks.
For an extended period, the term “emergence” has been in use, and one can trace its origin from system theories. On the other hand, system theory has also been in existence for an extended period, but for a while, people have understood that systems are different as compared to the entire parts that comprise the system (Santos & Zhao, 2017). Laws do not exist when reducing something into simple fundamentals which shows that systems begin from certain concepts. Also, the new properties emerge at various levels of complexity. As a result, the complex system does not become something bigger, but it is a different thing from its subcomponents. The notion that the whole is a component of various parts is the reason that makes emergence concept compelling (Santos & Zhao, 2017).

Similarly, scientists derive new theories to explain a new behavior or quality that arise from a simpler system.
Nevertheless, there is only a partial understanding of emergent behavior since the relationship between the parts of a system is explained, which is a significant characteristic of the mechanism that leads to the rise of emergence. On the other hand, the subsystems which comprise a system can feedback and transform the behaviors of the parts. However, the consensus among the aspects of emergence leads to the fact that it is because of the interactions of the subsystem of a complex system regardless of the approach we take to define and understand it.
