Life displays emergent properties from "summary" of Making Sense of Life by Evelyn Fox KELLER,Evelyn Fox Keller

Life is a complex phenomenon that defies simple explanations. At its core, life is composed of various elements and processes that interact with each other in intricate ways. When these elements come together, they give rise to emergent properties that cannot be fully understood by looking at each individual component in isolation. Emergent properties are characteristics that emerge from the interactions of simpler components but are not present in any of those components individually. These properties are often unpredictable and cannot be deduced solely from a knowledge of the individual parts. For example, the ability of a group of cells to form a multicellular organism is an emergent property that arises from the interactions between the cells. One of the key features of emergent properties is their simplicity. Despite the complexity of the interactions that give rise to them, emergent properties often exhibit a remarkable simplicity in their manifestation. This simplicity can be deceiving, as it masks the underlying complexity of the processes at work. Clarity and coherence are also important aspects of emergent properties. Even though emergent properties may be unpredictable and complex, they often exhibit a certain clarity and coherence in their expression. This coherence arises from the interactions between the different components and ensures that the emergent properties are not chaotic or random. Logical seq...
