I think a system is _always_ defined by its constraints. Not so much its components. Perhaps its features? But not components. No-one gives a flying fux if you're using postgres or mysql or some other hippie database. That's a component, and no-one cared.
I think emergence comes from complexity, not constraint. Constraint may kill emergence, but constraint on its own means nothing. What's the point of laws in a country with zero inhabitants?

not sure what. the countries inhabitants has to do with it but emergence is a product of propagation and to propagate you have to have transferable form/data …constraint and complexity allow that to happen…one thing begets the next and the result becomes viability for the next stage …propagation is not something done simply but something earned ….either computationally or literally…micro to macro ...
