positive x negative emergence
the world is always more than the sum of its parts, and this is the unpredictable emergent property of the complex dynamic system 

But it doesn't mean that like I've heard people saying emergence will save save us. The nonsensical statement, the negative emergent, like climate change, is a negative, emergent property of the Earth's system based on anthropogenic genic carbon emissions. But if we find patterns of drawing down carbon into the soil and into standing biomass and into our products and materials, and we shift our material culture to make it the driver of carbon drawdown in the next century, then we're more likely to have an emergent system property that brings us back into balance and back into a climate regime that is closer to the Holocene and relatively stable climate that has allowed human civilization to evolve over the last 10,000 years.

we have limits to predict and control - systems are not rigid.
