Systems. You are simply describing some of the basic concepts of systems
behavior. Complex systems behavior arising from simple components. Happens
all the time both in biological and non-living systems. No magic there.

So the whole can be completely, thoroughly, logically, scientifically
explained by the sum of the parts? As in there’s no magic at all? If there
are systems and components we don’t understand scientifically today, there
will be a time in the future when we will have a scientific answer for those
areas?
This is where your fallacy lies. Since you ‘live the science’ you can’t
accept that there might be something outside the science, today or even in
the future. You can’t accept the ‘magic’ that may be in the system.

The original poster wanted to know how we (our behavoir) could be more than the
sum of our biological parts. I simply pointed out the relevance of such an issue
in the context of systems engineering. That itself isn’t magic, it is a
well-known principle.
