Theories of collective behavior often begin with individual rationality and build upward, yet this foundation can mislead. When many agents interact, the aggregate outcome need not resemble any participant's intention. A market panic, for instance, emerges not because each trader desires a crash but because defensive moves—rational given others' behavior—amplify into cascade. The mismatch between micro-motive and macro-outcome suggests that prediction must shift scale. Classical economics assumed transparent aggregation: sum the preferences, and the group's choice appears. But once feedback loops tighten—once my action alters your incentive, which then reshapes mine—linear extrapolation fails. The system exhibits emergent properties, patterns that exist only at the collective level and cannot be reduced to individual psychology. Recognizing this gap does not abandon rationality; rather, it relocates explanation. Instead of asking what each agent believes, we ask what structures allow stable or unstable configurations to persist. Understanding such systems therefore requires identifying ___________________________________.
