The micro-macro link (MML) problem in sociology and distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) is the connection of microscopic and macroscopic levels, how actors give rise to macroscopic social patterns and structures, and how these structures influence in turn individual actors. Understanding the micro-macro link means to understand the possible emergent properties of the system. A solution of the MML is needed for the engineering of self-organizing systems (ESOS).
