And what I think, in turn, is that if a mathematics of emergence existed,
then knowing that mathematics would enable you to Jump Out Of The System
and develop a better kind of intelligence, perhaps non-emergent, perhaps
differently emergent, but not describable by the old mathematics at any
rate. Not an original perspective, of course, but perhaps a new
conclusion derived from this perspective.
