Emergent may seem to defy analysis, but there are simple rules that
are at play, and constraints in systems/environments

As I have already said in this thread, there are definitely simple
rules, there are definitely factors that are identifiable. Nature has
rules like DNA, and yet nature created an explosion of localized
diversity.

I think it does imply a "partially" fractal nature, where systems can
be replicated efficiently, they will probably be replicated. But,
unique local conditions will rise in importance, where they may
currently or previously have been supressed by mass culture
