CHAPTER ELEVEN
Configuration exists only across connected elements
Emergence
Multiple elements exist.
Elements occupy different positions.
Elements connect across positions.
Configuration exists across connection.
No element contains it.
Elements occupy positions.
Each element connects to surrounding elements.
If connection is absent, no configuration exists.
Connections form between elements.
Local links exist between nearby positions.
If links do not form, no arrangement exists.
Local links connect to other links.
Connections extend beyond initial positions.
If extension does not occur, configuration does not form.
Connections overlap across positions.
Multiple links act at the same time.
If overlap does not occur, no structure exists.
Change occurs at one position.
Change spreads through connected elements.
If spread does not occur, configuration does not persist.
Connections propagate across regions.
Linked positions affect distant positions.
If propagation fails, configuration does not hold.
Configuration spans multiple positions.
No single position contains the full arrangement.
If a single position contains it, emergence does not exist.
Connections maintain shared arrangement.
Arrangement depends on all connected elements.
If connection breaks, configuration does not remain.
If connections fail, configuration does not exist.
If configuration does not exist, no arrangement remains.
If no arrangement remains, no relation persists.
Without relation, no structure remains.
Configuration exists across connection.
No element contains it.
