Emergence is a very complex subject.

Subatomic particles, for example, are not directly observable but they emerge into visible and measurable structures at macroscopic level Smile

Emergence in the brain is not directly observable (mind, as you call it, conscience or yourself if you will) but what mind emerges from, is ... crazy isn't it ? Wink Shades

Anyways, we have a lot (and I mean A LOT) as humans to learn about emergence, especially the strong one, it is very elusive (even mysterious) phenomenon but certainly not a miracle.

I personaly believe that strong emergence is one of the fundamental properties of matter, we already know that weak one is, my hope is that chaos theory will pave the way in sorting this puzzle out sooner or later Big Grin
