Emergence definition

Group dynamics is the complex pattern of behavior and emotion that arises from the interactions of individuals within a state, where the shape and arrangement of matter, as governed by form, and the organized arrangement of particles in space, as governed by structure, allow for the complex patterns and transformations that give rise to a functioning government, and is driven by the transformations of state and energy over a sequence of events.
