Emergence definition

A living system or structure involving life and matter emerges from the organized arrangement of interrelated parts that work together over time, where particles occupy space and interact with energy, exhibiting patterns that govern its transformations and binding, and shape or arrangement that matter takes, as the particles that make up matter interact and transform in space, and the consumption of plant life.
