A measure of staying power: Is the persistence of emergent concepts more significantly influenced by technical domain or scale? (full-text)
This study advances a four-part indicator for technical emergence. While doing so it focuses on a particular class of emergent concepts—those which display the ability to repeatedly maintain an emergent status over multiple time periods. The authors refer to this quality as staying power and argue that those concepts which maintain this ability are deserving…
