Emergence Detection

Detect and validate emergent properties from combinations — properties that exist in the combination but not in any individual component.

Stages

Stage 1: Emergent Property Identification

Use emergent-property-identification SOP to systematically scan combinations for non-additive properties. Compare predicted additive properties against actual combination properties.

Stage 2: Blend Elaboration

Use blend-elaboration SOP to run the combination as a mental simulation, discovering additional emergent properties through dynamic interaction of combined elements.

Minimum Yield

Metric	Floor
Emergent properties identified	≥2
Properties verified as non-additive	≥2
Emergence mechanism described	≥1 per property
Verification direction proposed	≥1 per property
