Ship shape : At what level of simplicity is emergent behavior possible? An emergent property can arise at the level of a biochemical reaction network. Hemostasis, which regulates blood clotting, can respond to the shape of a patch of surface stimulus. This response can be understood from chemical principles, as demonstrated with numerical simulations and a simplified nonbiological, chemical system.
