When Structure Becomes Inevitable: Understanding Emergent Necessity in Complex Minds and Machines
Foundations of Emergent Necessity Theory and the Role of Thresholds Emergent Necessity Theory (ENT) reframes emergence as a predictable outcome of measurable structural dynamics rather than an inscrutable byproduct of complexity. ENT emphasizes that organized behavior appears when a system crosses clearly definable structural conditions: a critical coherence metric, persistent recursive feedback, and a low
