I got stuck reading about British Emergentism.  This has probably 
already been discussed before in this forum because it appears to be 
similar to MoQ, in some ways.

Absolutely. And the more you read about theories of emergence, the 
more you will realize that Platt's willful ignorance on the topic is 
dismissable. Indeed, the theory of emergence captures the MOQ 
evolutionary process to the "T". It is a theory of freedom, of the 
unexpected, of how macroscopic patterns can appear and reside on 
smaller patterns which have no intent nor "cognizance" of the 
processes residing "above" them.
