Emergence in Effective Field Theories - Philsci
... An effective field theory (EFT) of a physical system is a description of the system at energies low, or distances large, compared to a given cutoff. EFTs are constructed via a process in which degrees of freedom are eliminated from a high-energy/short-distance theory. Formulating a concept of emerge ...

The nonlocal theory itself may be the low-energy effective limit of some even larger theory for which fields have been integrated out. It will be shown that the case of cosmic strings with high ...
