Peggy,
I felt I “ought” to be able to answer this question … note the use of modal language. ( My sense of obligation and five dollars will get you a [small] cup of coffee in any restaurant in Santa Fe.) But I am not sure I quite understood your question. Is there a particular situation to which the question applies that you could describe to me? It might be easier to answer in the particular.

Subject: [FRIAM] emergence -- studies on "top down" limitations
Since "top-down" impacts emergent behavior, have there been studies that take the same number and types of entities that are known to have emergent behavior of some predictable form -- like flock of set type of birds, and systematically change the "top" environment those entities exist in to study whether it impacts the emergent behavior that forms?
Thanks for any input from you all.
