Definition

Emergence, in the physical domain of Reality, is strongly related to Physical Complexity. It is through the complex interaction, the complex organization of Physical Events into more Complex Physical Events that emergence manifests itself as new and different properties and behaviors of the Physical Processes which make up the dynamics of Physical Systems.

Physical Reality, the Physical Universe in Evolution, is formed by Physical Processes of Physical Relations between Physical Events, produced by Physical Sources (Physical Entities showing Physical Agency, that always manifest two aspects, Physical Agents / Forces and Physical Acted / Fields). At all the levels of Physical Reality, the organization of Physical Action (Physical Events) and Physical Information (Physical Relations) in more and more complex Physical Processes produces the emergence of new and more complex levels of Physical Reality. The collective behavior of elementary parts produces new properties and behavior in the the more complex systems that make up Physical Reality.
