Emergence definition

Methods to calculate expectation values of physical observables of a quantum field theory at finite temperature emerge from the systematic study of the natural world through the laws governing matter, energy, and their interactions via forces, where force and motion converge to reveal the underlying patterns of the universe, and the need to quantify and understand the behavior of physical systems.
