2.Intrinsic Emergence such as flocking behavior

3.Causal Emergence such as human behavior using messaging.

3.3 Examples of CAS

CAS can be both natural as well as artificial. Here we give some examples of different types of CAS. Next, we give specific examples of natural and artificial CAS.

3.3.1 Natural CAS Example 1: CAS in Plants

An example of adaptation in a natural system can be seen in Fig. 3.2 where we see a tree stem adapting according to the peculiar shape of an artificial metallic structure. One CAS which can be noted here is the complete plant. The plant itself is made up of numerous cells interacting and performing tasks based on programs from their genomes. However each cell is unaware of the large scale features of the plant or the way it interacts with the environment such as the emergent behavior of adaptation that can be observed in the figure in response to the position of the metallic structure as well as the path followed by sun for a better chance at getting sunlight. This emergent behavior can be seen as essentially a trait which has helped plants and animal species to survive over millions of years.
