	'''Emergent entities''' are properties, patterns or substances which 'arise' out of more fundamental entities through an [[Emergence\|emergence]] process. A property of a system is emergent, if it is not a property of any fundamental element. It is a property of the collection, of the whole system, and arises from the interactions of the individual elements.		'''Emergent entities''' are properties, patterns or substances which 'arise' out of more fundamental entities through an [[Emergence\|emergence]] process. A property of a system is emergent, if it is not a property of any fundamental element. It is a property of the collection, of the whole system, and arises from the interactions of the individual elements. An emergent property - like a society - consists of the interrelated individuals who compose and have composed it.

	: "Emergent properties are collective properties, which means they are properties of collections, not properties of individual parts. The cause can often be traced back to the interactions between the parts of which a system is made." ~ Raima Larter		: "Emergent properties are collective properties, which means they are properties of collections, not properties of individual parts.

	: "Roughly, by a complex system I mean one made up of a large number of parts that interact in a nonsimple way. In such systems, the whole is more than the sum of the parts, not in an ultimate, metaphysical sense, but in the important pragmatic sense that, given the properties of the parts and the laws of their interaction, it is not a trivial matter to infer the properties of the whole. In the face of complexity, an in-principle reductionist may be at the same time a pragmatic holist." ~ Herbert Simon		: "Roughly, by a complex system I mean one made up of a large number of parts that interact in a nonsimple way.

	Emergent entities are not reducible. Although they arise out of more fundamental items, they are 'novel' or 'irreducible' with respect to them. Emergent properties are dependent on underlying processes, and yet independent from underlying processes. This is the paradox of emergence.		Emergent entities are not reducible.
