The Emergence of High Level Phenomena

The laws of physics are such that particlesa ange themselves in ways that give rise to higher level simplicity. This resolution into explicability at a higher, quasi autonomous level is known as emergence. We can predict with some accuracy how long the water will take to boil. But if you wanted to predict where each bubble will go, or what the probabilities of its various possible motions are,. see chapter 11, you would be out of luck.
