[[Image:Code.gif|left|Strong Emergence]]
Strong emergence  is the [[emergence]] of [[Emergent Entity|emergent properties]] in a system
where it is not possible to infer the properties of the whole,
given the properties of the parts and the laws of their interaction.
A property of a system is strongly emergemt, it it cannot be derived, 
even in principle, from facts about the components and their arrangements 
within the structure in question, then only a few properties exist.
It is associated with the appearance of a new code and the emergence of 
a new system.
