Explanation of Solution

Emergent properties of a complex system:

It is impossible to infer the emergent properties of complex systems from the components of the system components because:

  • A system is a collection of the constituting subsystems an also covers the emergent properties of the connections and integrations of the subsystems.
  • In a complex system, the complexities mostly emerge from critical relationships among the components of the system
