That makes more sense. Thanks for the response! I'm not sure if can agree with your conclusions. It may be that I'm still missing context you're working within. My best guess is you're assume some axioms that I am not. That doesn't necessarily mean I think you're incorrect. We might just be operating with different frameworks.

I agree that strong emergemce and weak emergence seem different by your definitions. I'm not convinced strong emergemce is a thing. Is there a compelling argument that the perception of strong emergence is actually a more complex weak emergence that the observers have not fully understood?

Something something Occam's Razor / god of the gaps something. I find these sorts of discussions quite compelling. Thanks again for engaging. :)
