System-level capability emerges from interactions between
System-level capability emerges from interactions between components, not from the sum of components in isolation—meaning sovereignty requires practicing the transitions between subsystems, not just practicing each subsystem.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from The behavior of a system arises from its structure, not from (system behavior from structure not intentions) and Complex systems that work evolved from simple systems that (complex systems from simple systems). This is a design principle for skill integration: practice the connections, not just the nodes. It's prescriptive and grounded in systems axioms.
