The Finch and Pea

If I read the words ’emergent properties’ one more time today…

… in a developmental biology paper, I’m going to have to start breaking things.

This is almost as bad as referring to the collection of genomic data as the “canonical ensemble” approach. (FYI, Wikipedia: “canonical ensemble”)

I would like to know, when is a response to a morphogen gradient not considered an emergent property?
