Emergent or not, it will sit there indefinitely until there is a catalyst. An emergent event in this context would like some suddenly growing a new arm without understanding or capability to use it. One might argue the new arm would be factored in. What then? More new arms? Conflicts on use models where new arms can’t function like primary arms? The problem might be the definition of emergent in this context. While an event fits adjective definition 1. It does. To meet noun definition 1. Which, imo, creates cognitive dissonance in humans. Which would be a fascinating test of the systems to resolve for us by example. I guess we’ll all have to wait for the emergence of such features in future.
