Drives Behind Emergence: Candidates• Blumenbach: Bildungstrieb
• Spencer: Increasing Heterogeneity• Bergson: Creative Evolution/Elan Vital• Alexander: Nisus (Connatus from Spinoza)• Whitehead: Processual• De Chardin: Eschatological• Thermodynamics: Self-organization Based On Minimum or Maximum
Entropy Production or So-called Fourth Law of Thermodynamics (information theoretic)
• Recursion• Edge of Chaos – Selection Pressures (Kauffman)• Gravitics (Ian Stewart)

Construction, not Process• Not a Metaphysics Based on the Already
Given (Structures, Dynamics, Properties)• Not Subjugation to Process or Temporal Flow• Non-Oppositional• Based on Constructional Resources and
Operations • Free Act of Creativity but Not Order for Free

Thou sendeth forth Thy spirit, they are created; And Thou renewest the face of the earth.
– Psalm 104:30
Whose Name stands for “I am that I am” says,Look, I am doing a new thing;It springs forth right now, do you not perceive it?I create a path out of the wildernessAnd rivers out of the desert.
-Isaiah 43:19
