HW20: Chapter 19

19.3) Why is it impossible to infer the emergent properties of a complex system from the properties of the system components?

Emergent properties cannot be inferred because they do not exist until there is interaction between the components of the system. Emergent properties include things like security, reliability, and repair ability. These properties cannot be observed until after the components of the complex system interact with each other
