 As to 11, the intended notion of an emergent property is one for which mereological supervenience  fails.[42]  Let \(x\) have proper parts. Then \(F\) is an emergent property of \(x\) iff (i) \(x\) instantiates \(F\), (ii) \(F\) is an intrinsic property, and (iii) \(x\)’s instantiating \(F\) does not supervene on the intrinsic properties of, and spatiotemporal relations among, \(x\)’s proper parts. Such a property would be an intrinsic property of the whole that is not determined by the intrinsic properties of and spatiotemporal relations among its parts.
