Emergent behavior

Emergent behavior is a term used in the field of artificial intelligence and complex systems to describe the phenomenon where the collective interactions of simple components or agents result in unpredictable and complex patterns or outcomes. In other words, it refers to the behavior that arises from the interactions of individual elements in a system, which cannot be predicted by examining the elements in isolation. This behavior often leads to novel and unexpected results, as the system as a whole exhibits properties that its individual components do not possess.
