Emergent Properties of Referral Systems
, 2003
"... Agents must decide with whom to interact, which is nontrivial when no central directories are available. A classical decentralized approach is referral systems, where agents adaptively give referrals to one another. We study the emergent properties of referral systems, especially those dealing with ..."

COMPLEX EMERGENT PROPERTIES AND CHAOS
"... Emergent properties are typically novel and unanticipated. In this paper, using chaos synchronization tools and ideas, we demonstrate, via two examples of three-dimensional autonomous differential systems, that, by simple uni- or bi-directional coupling, regular (resp. chaotic) behavior can emerge f ..."

Concurrent Constraint Programming
, 1993
"... This paper presents a new and very rich class of (con-current) programming languages, based on the notion of comput.ing with parhal information, and the con-commitant notions of consistency and entailment. ’ In this framework, computation emerges from the inter-action of concurrently executing agent ..."

Rho GTPases and the actin cytoskeleton
- Science
, 1998
"... The actin cytoskeleton mediates a variety of essential biological functions in all eukaryotic cells. In addition to providing a structural framework around which cell shape and polarity are defined, its dynamic properties provide the driving force for cells to move and to divide. Understanding the b ..."

Metaphor and relevance: The ‘emergent property’ issue
- UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX
, 2005
"... The interpretation of metaphorical utterances often results in the attribution of emergent properties, which are neither standardly associated with the individual constituents in isolation nor derivable by standard rules of semantic composition. An adequate pragmatic account of metaphor interpretati ..."

Time: An emergent property of matter
- Applied Physics Research
"... A non-local hidden-variable (NLHV) design called the Cordus conjecture is applied to address the ontological question: What is time? A novel multi-level concept emerges for time, and the origin of the arrow is also explained. According to this theory, time at the fundamental level consists of the fr ..."

The power-law as an emergent property
- Mem. Cognit
, 2001
"... Recent work has shown that the power function, a ubiquitous characteristic of learning, memory, and sensation, can emerge from the arithmetic averaging of exponential curves. In the present study, the forgetting process was simulated via computer to determine whether power curves can result from the ..."

Under-Specification, Composition and Emergent Properties

, 1997

We show that emergent behaviours, and their emergent properties, play a role in the composability and satisfiability of the properties of a composite system. Us ..."
