Emergence definition

Muscle-tissue emerges from the organization of matter, where particles occupy space and interact with energy, exhibiting patterns that govern its transformations and binding, and combining with substance to form a specific physical form, composed of contractile cells that generate movement and force, converting chemical energy into mechanical work through the organization of protein filaments.
