No, it's OK. I just don't understand.

To be clear, I kinda like Dan Dennett's concept of "intrinsic emergence". I may not remember it well. But it goes something like this: emergence exists when the higher level language is more computationally expressive than the lower level language.

I only kinda like it because I would prefer something like: emergence exists when the post-map language has a different expressibility than the pre-map language. By removing "level", referring to the gen-phen map directly, and not requiring the containership of more or less expressibility, it seems more palatable to me. But I don't know if my re-phrasing even makes sense.
