A framework for representing a specific kind of emergent property instance is given. A
solution to a generalized version of the exclusion argument is then provided and it is shown
that upwards and downwards causation is unproblematical for that kind of emergence. One
real example of this kind of emergence is briefly described and the suggestion made that
emergence may be more common than current opinions allow.
