Emergence means a new metaphor for a higher level of understanding.
Water molecules acting together create the emergent property of wetness.
Emergence = relationship. Whenever two things interact, the complexity of that interaction spreads outward, creating effects that can seem "more than the sum of its parts". When those relationship attributes are sufficiently large, distinctive, and useful, we give them a new name.
