|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
-pyramidal structure
-higher controls lower levels
-levels may interact but are physically independent
-ex. military ranks |

|
Term
|
Definition
-aka inclusion hierarchy
-not necessarily pyramidal
-each level has members that are part of a larger system
-not independent
-ex. Russian dolls |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when components of nested hierarchies combine, new properties emerge that were not present at a lower level |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-emergence of properties that CAN be directly linked to properties of the component
-protein structure |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-emergence of properties that cannot be directly linked to the properties of the component
-ex. communication btw neurons |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
