Foundations in Systems Integration
point from a mechanistic perspective is that cognitive thinking has taken
place regardless of the actions taken. The mechanisms (in this case procedures and mechanisms) have habitualized to their environment through
interactions and have not exercised (or discovered) other mechanisms of
dealing with a set of EMMI from different objects. A typical example of this
is being shown something for the first time and not realizing how to think
about it to gain a greater appreciation for what is shown.
Emergence
“Emergent” refers to the unaccountable effects of combining of objects
(Lewes 1875). Rather than pit one mind against another in detecting the
cause for effects (whether accountable or not), we broaden the view of emergence to any effect that is the result of combining objects through the processes of EMMI is emergence. This more general definition impacts on not
only the way we appreciate effects of interaction (i.e., that every interaction
has the potential of changing the attribute(s) of one or more objects) but even
the least observant or perceptive observer should not be disheartened by
their emergence being merely an as yet unexplained phenomena. Conceivably
every unexplained phenomena can have an explanation eventually, and
therefore the notion of emergence would only be valid until we all gain additional knowledge. It is more satisfying to observe the effects of interaction,
and note those changes in attributes that result and then particularly investigate whether any properties have changed. Emergent properties have lasting effects whereas ephemeral emergent attributes are reversible. Emergence
is due to traits of an object or objects.
Dynamics of Integration
The combining of acts into activities into processes, the aggregation and correlation of thinking into knowledge, and the enactment of behaviors based
on knowledge and various behaviors are future signs of integration. Integration
has immediate and continuing influence on society, how individuals think,
how individuals and groups behave, and what we build.
Things combining into new things is the result of integration. Systems
integration influences society profoundly, but sometimes in subtle ways.
How we think, how we behave, and what we build are the manifestations
and results of mechanisms of integration. The outcomes of integrating
objects are the structures of society, the phenomena of the physical world,
our cognitive nature, the products we build, the services we provide, and the
