Hi Richard,
Pratt's theory does not address this. Could emergence be the result
of inter-communications between monads and not an objective process at
all? It is useful to think about how to solve the Sorites paradox to see
what I mean here. A heap is said to emerge from a collection of grains,
but is there a number or discrete or smooth process that generates the
heap? No! The heap is just an abstract category that we assign. It is a
name.

Now if only someone could explain how emergence works.
Can Pratt theory do that?
