Q: Whenever physicists use the term “emergence” I never know what they mean. Do physicists have a definition of emergence? Is it roughly the same as what philosophers mean by it?

A: It means there is a many-to-one map from a micro theory to an “emergent” macro theory (with possibly a very different ontology), such that the map approximately commutes with time evolution. Emergence reflects “real patterns” in Dennett’s sense.
