Emergence Theory Defined (A Layperson's Guide) ► Bird Murmurations & Your Body

Introducing the scientific concept of emergence. We'll define emergence and provide examples from birds (starling murmurations), swarm behavior, and the human body.

Emergence occurs when an entity exhibits properties its parts do not possess on their own. Unique behaviors arise only when the parts interact as a wider whole. Emergence might be the most fundamental principle in the universe.

Bird murmurations are simply explained. Each bird's movement is influenced by its SEVEN closest neighbors.

2:14 You Are Emergent

Even you yourself are emergent.

Your body emerges from organs, your organs from tissues, your tissues from cells, your cells from molecules, your molecules from atoms, your atoms from subatomic particles, your subatomic particles from... not sure. Vegas odds favor strings right now.

🚀 WHAT IS THIS CHANNEL?
Exploring Truth in philosophy, science, & art.

We'll uncover concepts from psychology, mythology, spirituality, literature, media, and more. If you like Lex Fridman or Curt Jaimungal, you'll love this educational channel.

Inspired by psychologist Jerome Bruner, the syllabus will circumambulate core topics; the spiral curriculum will regularly revisit ideas, building incrementally on earlier foundations. The curriculum may look scattered now, but eventually themes will converge and the giant map will make sense.

The goal is a better understanding of life, the universe, and everything. A core aim is to inspire curiosity and a lifelong love for learning. Maybe together we can get somewhere closer to humanity's grand search for meaning and chip away at life's greatest mysteries.

PG-13. Suitable for teens+. Some videos may be appropriate for younger audiences (Emergence, 4th Dimension) but if you're a parent, watch the videos first.

Hey! What topic would you like us to cover next?

[dredgerivers]

The trick is, can we as individuals grow to a point where our universal murmuration forms a Creator powerful enough to Emerge and bootstrap the entire Pattern retroactively?

[rolandzuber]

Wait, so is it possible that there is, or might be, or will be, Emergence based on all human beings on this planet? I always wondered what might happen with humanity once we hit so-called "critical threshold" of population. We are currently very close to 8 bilions, Im really curious whether something will "triger". I still doubt it but am definitely curious. 😉
I really like your videos, thank you!

Who else watched this video after watching “the Eternals” ?

Clear, simple explanation and impressive imagery. Good luck with the new channel. You now have one new subscriber 👍

mhmm... you may be interested in Stan Grof’s work/theory on Spiritual Emergence, which psychiatry currently ignores. Won’t get into it here but I will be addressing this with my colleagues upon graduation.

It appears you have a strong preference toward String Theory. I propose string theory lacks symmetry and takes to much pretzel twisting with the math, I find The theory of strings might be emergent but not fundamental...

[mikeriley]

Causal loops and Garrett Lisi s work
Proves the E8 lie group is fundamental and predicts the Graviton and quantum Gravity
And mathematically has symmetry
Can you explore this topic

[RelaxMeditateRejuvenate]

I wonder if there is a planet out there where the inhabitants move in this way. all of the people are individuals, but they recognize they are all the same species and act as one for the good of the entire group. I feel certain that exists somewhere

[charbelazar]

Maan! You made my day! You have the most intriguing channel on youtube! Plz keep up the good work! I'm gonna watch all your videos and i'll make sure to like'm all! Kudos

Max Tegmark has a TED talk on you tube about how consciousness might be an emergent property of certain particle patterns such as say, particle patterns of an awake brain vs particle patterns of a sleeping brain. It would be interesting to hear how this possibility might fit into to Donald Hoffman's Fitness beats Theorem. Or how these ideas may clash.

*_"Vegas odds favor strings."_* ... Yah, I'd take 10-to-1 odds against that.

I'm glad I found this channel while it only has 44 videos. It'll be easier to binge them.
