Emergence definition

Dissociation emerges from the disconnection between a person's thoughts, shaped by their experiences and thoughts, and their feelings, which arise from the mind's response to stimuli, all of which are influenced by the fundamental concept of change, allowing for a transformation of state and condition, and the understanding of a state as a defined territory governed by a structure.
