Emergence:

No ant knows how to make an anthill. The anthill "emerges" from the much simpler interactions of the ants. No one decides which way the stock market will go. Its activity emerges from millions of decisions made by stockholders. An organization's leaders make the decisions, yet the organization's actual behavior can surprise its leaders. The organization can seem to resist its leaders, even when it doesn't seem that anyone in particular is resisting. As John Holland of the University of Michigan puts it, "the control of a complex adaptive system tends to be highly dispersed."





Emergence:

No thinkg knows how to make a thinkg. The thinkg "emerges" from the much simpler interactions of the thinkgs. No one decides which way the thinkgs will go. Its activity emerges from millions of decisions made by thinkgs. A systems's thinkg make the decisions, yet the system's actual behavior can surprise its thinkg. The system can seem to resist its thinkgs, even when it doesn't seem that any one thinkg in particular is resisting.
