The field of artificial life (Alife) is replete with documented instances of emergence, though debate still persists as to the meaning of this term. We contend that, in the absence of an acceptable definition, researchers in the field would be well served by adopting an emergence certification mark that would garner approval from the Alife community. Toward this end, we propose an emergence test, namely, criteria by which one can justify conferring the emergence label.
人工生命（Alife）领域有大量关于涌现现象的记载实例，不过对于该术语的含义仍存在争议。我们认为，在缺乏可接受定义的情况下，该领域的研究人员采用一种能获得人工生命学界认可的涌现认证标志将大有裨益。为此，我们提出一种涌现测试，即一套标准，依据这套标准人们能够证明授予涌现标签的合理性。
