emergent implies that extrapolating the phenotype from the underlying rules requires nontrivial processing time
Or might even be incomputable?
Maybe, but probably not. Suppose our universe turns out to be Turing-equivalent; does this imply that there are no emergent phenomena?
does this imply that there are no emergent phenomena?
Maybe not, but it makes emergence a bit less useful concept.
