Abstract

Emergence is a universal phenomenon that can be defined mathematically in a very general way. This is useful for the study of scientifically legitimate explanations of complex systems, here defined as hyperstructures. A requirement is that observation mechanisms are considered within the general framework. Two notions of emergence are defined, and specific examples of these are discussed.
