A lot of people view consciousness as an emergent property of the brain, but what does that really mean? What is emergence really? There are two types of emergence we have to consider: weak emergence and strong emergence. Weak emergence is your everyday emergence like how a song is composed of simpler tones or how computer parts operate from simpler hardware parts. Strong emergence on the other hand is just magic.
