Full Title or Meme

Emergent Behavior refers to the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions.

Context

  • Emergent Behavior refers to the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. Emergence refers to the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. It is also the most striking feature of Self-organization.
  • Emergent properties are those that are not present in the individual components of a system but arise from their interactions[1]

Problem

  • Many parts of our world, perhaps even the entire universe, seems to be too complex given the very simple rules that the elemental parts' behavior could not possibly predict.
  • One does not need to understand Quantum Mechanics to describe a tornado or attempt to predict its path.

Solution

  • For biological ecosystems an Emergent Behavior arises from evolution. Once an organism is born, it will have some genetical determined behaviors at birth. After birth it will learn new behaviors to match the environment where it lives.
  • For Artificial Intelligence or other complex computer systems, an Emergent Behavior is one that was not expected during the programing of the system.
