ACQUIRED EMERGENT PROPERTIES

We first discuss the concept of structure to differentiate between structural and systemic properties. Within this framework we discuss processes of establishing structures, such as phase transitions, organization and self-organization. The paper introduces concepts and insights about the process of Acquiring Properties (AP) in systems, not just possessing properties. The last point relates to establishing, sustaining and managing new properties in emergent and organizational systems. In the Appendix we briefly discuss this approach for the concept of mind possessed by living matter.
