If I had been talking about how objects of mass attracted each other (or some similar system), him saying 'gravity' would also serve to provide me with textbooks of information and research that might be relevant to what I was talking about. As it so happens, I was aware of the term 'emergence', but if I was not, then his mentioning it makes it far easier for me to do further research on that thing I described in my first post.

I simply offered a lexical correlation; from your response one might think I murdered your children.
