Logical emergence from copying

Demonstration that complex logical behavior emerges from simple copy-cat processes through interaction, exemplifying power of dynamics.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

claim

Agents and their interactions are intrinsic to studying information flow in computation, not peripheral to classical information theory.
supports
Central thesis: traditional static information theories fail to capture dynamic interaction necessary for understanding modern computing.

concept

Geometry of Interaction
introduces
Dynamic model connecting logic to geometry through explicit treatment of information flow and interaction; demonstrates emergent logical complexity from simple copy-cat processes.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Core concept: degree to which an agent exerts unique predictive power on its future; key to cognition at all scales.
Emergence (as explanatory fallback)concept0.772
The standard 'it just happens' account of surprising complex outcomes that the paper argues is a research-stopping, defeatist move.
Emergenceconcept0.768
Creation of qualitatively new properties at higher organizational level; requires non-linear fitness interactions.
Classification of Emergence: Nominal, Weak, Strongconcept0.760
Bedau's tripartite classification: nominal (pattern), weak (computationally irreducible), strong (irreducible downward causation).
Emergence refers to the phenomenon where macroscopic properties cannot be solely attributed to the cause of individual properties.quote0.751
