Searching for the insight to a GENERAL PRINCIPLE OR LAW of a complex system (or even any general system), to describe those JUST-RIGHT CONDITIONS (sometimes called Goldilocks principle) which lead to tipping points, emergence of new properties, new thresholds, order out of chaos

It seems all such phenomena can only be discovered & explained later, rather than predicted, given what you know about the system (the variables, their relation to each other) makes all narratives about complexity, emergence tautological & magical why would it happen at all?

these might matter for bringing about new emergent behavior/phenomena: • scale (size of the system, no. of variables & no. of interconnections/edges in the network) • resonance or resonant frequencies: (?) something to do with one-to-one correspondence between variables

Absolutely agree with all of this. Discovery before explanation. This is a key problem with our modern disavowal of exploration, experience, and art over science.

It relates to the cascading rate doublings leading up to chaotic regimes. Well not just that. Sufficient complexity in the behavior hits a different threshold of emergent information exchange (intelligence).
