	Emergence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hallmarks of an emergent concept, as opposed to other memes (urban myths, or viruses of the mind) are that EC are increasingly accepted as truth or possibility, based upon other empirical or anecdotal evidence in the mind of the believer or society (in its subsets) as a whole.
		Emergent structures are a favorite strategy found in many animal groups: colonies of ants, piles of termites, swarms of bees, flocks of birds, herds of mammals, shoals/schools of fish, and packs of wolves.
		Emergent processes or behaviours can be seen in many places, from any multicellular biological organism to traffic patterns, cities or organizational phenomena in computer simulations and cellular automata.

	The Emergent Paradigm and Divine Causation
		The emergent paradigm offers a way of supporting the speculative notion that the interrelatedness of dynamic entities in the world, in their moment-to-moment togetherness, produces a series of temporally emergent concrete qualities in the divine life, each of which becomes objectively past for any present creature here and now in the making.
		On the process view of selfhood, in which the internal relation between God and the self is asymmetrical, the prehending entity (the emerging subject) is never identical with the datum of prehension (God), but that datum does become part of the real internal constitution of the subject.
		Emergent freedom is thus a quality of the total organismic individual, and is not simply a function of the autonomous character of the subjective forms of the individual’s conceptual feelings or abstractive activity.

	JVIB:Literacy:Emergent Literacy
		Emergent literacy may be described as the process of learning about the environment that leads to the development of meaning and concepts, including concepts about the functions of reading and writing.
		Emergent literacy is centered on meaning and is a constructive (Clay, 1991; Hiebert and Fisher, 1990; Rex et al., 1994), functional (Gibson, 1989; Neuman and Roskos, 1993; Strickland and Morrow, 1989), and interactive process (Harste et al., 1988; Morrow and Rand, 1991).
		When children who are blind or visually impaired have experienced the process of emergent literacy from an early age; constructed concepts about the environment, including the concepts of reading and writing; and developed a desire to read, they will approach actual bookreading with a positive attitude and a strong foundation for success.

	Emergent Pedagogy
		Most importantly, teachers in an emergent classroom are relieved of an uncomfortable burden: They cease to be the setters of standards by which students are judged, becoming instead role models for the kinds of inquiry in which they want their students themselves to be engaged.
		Emergent classrooms, with their emphasis on autonomous, explorative interactions, may be particularly inviting to these information-gathering brains.
		We invited teachers to use an emergent structure for their own curricula and classrooms, providing an alternative to the "banking" and "hub-and-spoke" methods in which the teacher functions as the sole director of learning, from whom knowledge is "efficiently" passed in a downward direction.

	Quantum Ontology: Minds, Brains & Catalysis
		Thus, it is often claimed that the properties of emergent phenomena cannot be predicted from the properties of the components that comprise the system.
		Observations of emergent dynamics in complex systems have led many researchers to argue that the mind itself is an emergent phenomenon.
		We may justifiably ask, 'How does an emergent process integrate itself successfully into the many emergent processes that comprise a living organism in such a way as to benefit them all?' I suggest that there must be a common principle or property common to emergent dynamic processes that comprise a living organism.

		She may view the process of reading as "saying the words" rather than as a process for getting meaning from the text.
		This, then, is the process of diagnostic teaching that will be applied to a case study student in subsequent lessons.
		Children who are read to from an early age and who have opportunities to explore books on their own, develop oral language in dramatic play centers, and write to mimic adult writing activities, construct an awareness of many of the concepts of literacy.

	Free will - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On a biochemical level, the primary task of a neuron is to propagate electro-chemical impulses to other neurons forming an "integrated circuit" constantly receiving inputs from the senses (sight, smell, touch and taste), and providing output to the control of muscles and organs.
		In emergentist or generative philosophy (see emergence) of cognitive science and evolutionary psychology, free will is the generation of near-infinite possible behaviours from the interaction of a finite, deterministic set of rules and parameters.
		As an illustration, the strategy board-games chess and Go are rigorously deterministic in their rules and parameters, expressed in terms of the positions of the pieces in relation to other pieces on the board.

	Knowledge Creation and Re-Use through Knowledge Networking
		ONA exhibits both how knowledge is shared in emergent communities of practice, and how it is utilized in key business processes.
		The emergent views also show where certain knowledge is clustered in the organization.
		She knew how emergent communities work -- trying to formalize the informal, or trying to steer an emergent process, just leads to resistance and then disappointment.

	[No title]
		Emergent Meaning/Literature/Pedagogy is an unending process guided (but not determined) by the interactions of thoughtful agents, who leave traces of their interaction on the environment (in the form of literature and its interpretations), which are picked up and re-used by others (in the form of literature and its interpretations).
		The WAY such new stories get generated is an emergent process: it involves alteration between contraction and expansion ("an outlier provides a pattern for repeated variants") as interactions in the environment leave traces (in literature) which are continuously picked up (in literature and literary theory) and re-combined in new configurations.
		The marvelous paradox of the emergent approach is that it facilitates both independent and collaborative thinking, teaching students to initiate and sustain their own learning through interactions with others who enrich and stimulate their learning environment.

	CHAOSOPHY '93: SELF-ORGANIZATION IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
		At the cellular level inhomogeneities, inequalities and highly nonequilibrium states are the origin of processes such as the conduction of nerve impulses, glycosis, respiration, and embryonic development.
		Random networks which exhibit emergent order develop a frozen core, or a connected mesh of elements that are effectively locked into either an active or inactive state.
		When this process is fostered, facilitated, utilized, the deconstructive "damage" is an integral, necessary part of the emergent reconstructive process of the evolution of consciousness.

	Internet Time Blog: Emergent Learning
		Emergent learning implies adaptation to the environment, timeliness, flexibility and space for co-creation.
		Emergent learning enables us to push beyond the confines of e-learning to explore combinations with informal learning, storytelling, social network analysis, appreciative inquiry, workflow learning, conversation, contextual collaboration, organic KM, simulation, dynamic portals, expert location and blogs.
		Emergent Learning suggests that we're making a break with the past, that we're looking for something that's been missing, and that whatever emerges will be substantially different from what has come before.

		This process proceeds through a series of stages of increasing freedom, until it reaches a stage which is totally free in relation to the law of that stage, the moral law.
		As with all previous emergent stages, the laws of nature of this new emergent stage could be expected to differ from the laws of nature of the previous stages.
		A process which was intended to make possible the self- creation of such a spiritual entity would have to be initiated at a level lower than Spirit, hence the necessity for the process to begin with the initiation of sub- spiritual matter in the Big Bang.

	Works of Karl Schroeder
		Policy and consensus arise as emergent properties of the "blogosphere" in this model; that is to say, the individual transactions, postings and links of bloggers don't in themselves constitute a democratic system, but their collective behavior creates a kind of "intellectual commons" that does.
		Emergent democracy is potentially enabled by internet technology, sure; but what other emergent behaviors arise from the systems we already have--and will continue to arise even if we eliminated representational democracy and lived entirely in the blogosphere?
		Of course emergent processes look dodgy if you think of them as the exception; it's more correct to say that they're the rule.

	Article from PHILOSOPHY PATHWAYS Issue 114
		The essential difference between the Emergent Stages is related to the Information that operates within each stage and that gives rise to the law of the stage.
		Laws of Nature are simply statements of the regularities that are to be found at the Emergent Stages of Matter and Life, based on the Information embedded in each stage, and of the moral activity that emerges at the beginning of the Human Moral-cultural Stage.
		But if we are looking at a freely operating process rather than a directed process, the age and size of the Cosmos may be a necessary factor in that process.

		It is worth stressing that this process of exploration is a major source of innovation and diversification because it represents a move away from established patterns of work and behavior.
		Coordination is an emergent process of parametric adaptation whereby highly decentralized decision makers adjust to prior decisions by undertaking actions in the pursuit of localized interests.
		To reiterate, from a complexity perspective, the same process may also be seen as one of self–organization and exploration of the space of possibilities by the multiple developers as well as of emergent structures, based on both positive and negative feedback processes.

	DigitalSpace Papers : Ratavas Line:Emergent Learning and Design Using Collaborative Virtual Worlds
		The result of this process was an interdisciplinary, cross-institutional, international effort in collaborative design in virtual environments, and a successful exercise in emergent, collaborative distance learning.
		The emergent process used in Ratava’s Line was modeled on that used in industry, in which a proof-of-concept rapid prototype is conceived, developed and brought to market using an iterative, collaborative process.
		As a result of the iterative, emergent process used to create the project, students in both institutions used new, online creative and marketing tools to learn new skills, work with new collaborators, tap new markets and new careers, and find new ways of marketing themselves to a global audience.

	Three approaches to participatory inquiry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The process of self study in action is a way of cultivating this span of awareness and behavioural flexibility (Torbert, 1991a, 1991b; Torbert and Fisher, 1992).
		Thus co-operative inquiry is an emergent process which participants are first led through, amend and develop in the light of their experience, and finally embrace as their own.
		It is also a process through which a group of disempowered people may join together to explore their world, although initially such a group may be more dependent on an initiating facilitator in the manner of PAR.

		Paré uses his complex methodology to help the reader understand that governance of the Internet is an emergent phenomenon that unfolds as a consequence of the interaction and relation between a number of factors.
		According to Paré, some of these are ideologically tainted; some are prescriptive rather than descriptive; and all fail to adequately account for how politics plays a role in the emergence of internet policy.
