| − | Causal emergence refers to a specific type of [[emergence]] phenomenon in dynamical systems, where stronger causal characteristcs emerge at the system's macroscopic scale. In particular, for a class of [[Markov dynamical systems]], after appropriate [[coarse-graining]] of the state space, the resulting macroscopic dynamics demonstrate stronger causal characteristics than their microscopic counterparts.
