<p>WP Start</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>An '''emergent behaviour''' is shown when a number of simple [[Wikipedia:entity|entities]] (agents) operate in an environment, forming more complex behaviours as a collective. The complex behaviour is not a property of any single such entitiy, nor can it easily be predicted or deduced from behaviour in the lower-level entities.<br /> <br /> The shape and behaviour of a flock of birds or school of fish are readily understandable examples, and it is typical that the mechanisms governing the flock or school are harder to grasp than the behaviour of individual birds or fish. <br /> <br /> This type of behaviour can be seen in a lot of places, from any [[Wikipedia:multicellular]] biological organism to traffic patterns or organizational phenomena to computer [[Wikipedia:simulation|simulations]]. The study of emergent behaviours is not generally considered a [[Wikipedia:homogeneous]] field, but divided across it's application or problem [[Wikipedia:function domain|domains]].<br /> {{Wikipedia|Emergence}}<br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Emergence]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Emergent_behaviour&amp;action=historysubmit&amp;diff=15980818&amp;oldid=1153616 Emergent behavior was redirected to that article on Wikipedia]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Society of Mind theory]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:neural networks]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:flocking]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:fractal]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:complex system]]s.<br /> <br /> ===Bibliography===<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Stephen Wolfram]], ''[[Wikipedia:A New Kind of Science (book)|A New Kind of Science]]'', ISBN 1579550088, 2002.<br /> [[Category:Emergence| ]][[Category:Concepts in biology]][[Category:Articles redirected on Wikipedia]]</div>
