HW19: Chapter 19

19.3. Why is it impossible to infer the emergent properties of a complex system from the properties of the system components?

Emergent properties would be extremely difficult if not impossible to infer due to the nature of what they are. Emergent properties only emerge when you step back, understand all of your code individually and how it interacts with itself and the rest of the code which should be near impossible to predict every interaction of a complex system.
