Strong emergence is the emergence of 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.
