In recent years, I have developed an interest in the concept of “emergent properties”. One of the most interesting things about this concept is that it is shared by both living systems and video games, as they are both complex systems. I have encountered this concept through my studies in both biology and game design.
Many video games are designed with a simulation nature, aiming to simulate the real world within their virtual worlds. I believe it could be valuable to compare emergent properties in both of them, at least for my own interests.
