Over the past week I’ve been digesting concepts from Emergence in Artificial Life by Carlos Gershenson, my professor for Modern Complexity Theory. In the paper, Gershenson provides a formal definition of emergence grounded in Claude Shannon’s measure of information. He also defines self-organization as being anti-correlated with emergence, and complexity as being equal to a normalized balance between emergence and self-organization.
