Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Emergence ## Overview **Emergence**: many interacting parts produce whole-level properties that cannot be predicted from the parts alone. Wetness, consciousness, market dynamics — none exist at the part level; they emerge from interaction at scale. Philip W. Anderson (Nobel 1977) formalized this in "More Is Different" (1972): reducing things to fundamental laws does not give you the ability to reconstruct the whole.

How to install
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/emergence@sha256:c79197a0166be910The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
