So again, I think that this is possible, but I don't think it's actually true in the case where your lower level is literally fundamental physics and the core theory, because I think that locality, the constraints of locality there are very strong, I think that non-local emergence is much more plausible when your micro theory is already a little bit macro. But we're open to the possibility.
