You are most welcome! Glad you liked it. I've never logged in here before, and I am amused that someone posted this little emergence post here. I intended it mostly for circulation among friends. But you have inspired me to collect the 'syllabus' of my informal journal club. Here is an annotated reading list:

Much obliged and glad you visited. Your characterization of emergence as how we experience a jump between conceptual frameworks, rather than progression through an objective hierarchy, scratched an itch. Appreciating science as a set of frameworks floating in sea of unknown, rather than tiling and comprehending our world, would fix a lot of issues in science and a lot of the ongoing crisis of faith in expertise. Look forward to reading what informed the writing.


Wow! Your summary of what I am getting at is spot-on.
