Emergence and Ergodicity: A Line of Research

This working paper is a contribution to the discussion on emergence based on research topics debated in the international scientific community and introduced in the Italian Systems Society by Pessa and Minati with the notes presented during meetings and available in the AIRS’s web page (Pessa, 2001).
