This document discusses topological order and emergence in condensed matter systems. It begins by providing background on topological order, noting that it was first introduced by Wen Xiao-Gang in 1989 to describe systems that cannot be described by the Landau-Ginsburg theory of matter, including quantum Hall liquids, topological insulators, and topological superconductors. Some physicists and philosophers have suggested that a notion of emergence applies to topologically ordered systems due to their long-range entanglement. The document seeks to articulate such a notion of emergence. It defines topological order, notes future areas of study such as understanding long-range entanglement, and proposes that topologically ordered systems exhibit emergence as characterized by dependence on an underlying system and novelty. It discusses
