Let there be some ants. Let each individual ant act according to local rules.

None of the individual ant’s rules say “build an anthill,” yet after a few days there is an anthill.

I predict there are many anthills that have never been observed. So we have a fact of nature (anthill exists) that “emerges” from local interactions of ants — without an observer.

Where does the above go wrong in your view?

Edit: fixed grammar.
