Abstract

Emergence is a widespread notion in complex systems, artificial life and multi-agent systems. In this paper, we try to clarify a specific emergence feature suggested by John Holland [1] : the “much from little” paradigm . Considering complexity measures, we exhibit some key issues for a precise definition of this feature. Seen from the Vowels multi-agent perspective [2], our proposal might provide an indirect quantification of dynamic collective activity.
