Unpredicted:

"... I found there was a synergy of synergies. There was nothing in the atom that predicts chemical compounds; nothing of chemical compounds, per se, that predicts biological protoplasm; there's nothing in the protoplasm, per se, that predicts either elephant or pine tree. There's nothing in the elephant that predicts island universe of stars. I find that as we get to larger and larger systems the total system is not predicted by the parts."
