• Hoel's Causal Emergence Theoryframework0.798
  Quantitative emergence theory based on Markov dynamics and effective information (EI).
• Causal emergence is widespread across measures of causation, not just EI.claim0.793
  Claim by Comolatti & Hoel (2022) endorsed by this survey.

  Philosophical debate discussed in §5.2.
• Causal emergence may be a previously undisclosed axis of reorganization of neural representations in RL agents.claim0.768
  Authors' interpretive assertion that the observed alignment reveals a novel organizing principle of neural representation dynamics.
• Causally Emergent Alignment Hypothesishypothesis0.767
  The hypothesis that successful RL agents will display causal emergence that is predictive of final reward early in training and whose representational dynamics align with reward improvement.
