## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [repeats](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-repeats.action), [learn](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-learn.cognitive), [control](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-control.ability), [cognitive](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-cognitive.mental), [make](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-make.verb), [process](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-process.general)

**Through:** repeats and learning interact to form a stable, self-sustaining capacity for control

**Novel properties:**
- mastery
- enduring capacity
- adaptive precision

## Examples
- The violinist practiced scales daily for 10,000 hours before winning the Tchaikovsky Competition. *(everyday life)*
- IBM's Deep Blue ran millions of chess simulations to defeat Garry Kasparov in 1997. *(computing)*
