Physicists and mathematicians sometimes talk about how certain properties or features 'emerge' from out of their equations. Indeed, there is even an entire research focus studying 'emergence'. But conceptually what does mean? And does it, or should it, have any links with any other discipline?
If you are free on the 29th June (13:00-17:30) then please do come to a free & open-to-all symposium titled 'Emergence' in the Martin Wood Lecture Theatre (Department of Physics).
