Yes. My point was that emergence isn’t about what we know how to derive from lower-level descriptions, it’s about what we can easily see and predict from lower-level descriptions. Like Roko, I want my definition of emergence to include the ideal gas laws (and I haven’t heard the word used to exclude them).
