Computational versus Combinatorial Approaches 2008 14 .pdf application/pdf 5517 417 60 problem if one wants to capture the meaning of emergence by this perspective—emergence should surely apply to fewer properties than "everything but the mass," so it would then need a supplementary criterion Actually, emergence is supposed to cover several features: unpredictability, novelty, and irreducibility (Klee [1984], O'Connor [1994], Humphreys [1997], Crane [2001], Silberstein [2002], Seager [2005], and Chalmers [2006] largely agree on those features). criterion, a state of a computation process is weakly emergent iff there is It seems that there will be no way to understand through the computational approach some of the instances of "emergent D-patterns" identified by combinatorial approaches. emergence formulates the unpredictability of a given state from the knowledge of the rule and initial state—but of course, not of step relativen � 1 the computational view immune to the triviality proper to the combinatorial view.)
