Abstract
A notion of delegated causality is introduced. This subtle kind of causality is dual to interventional causality. Delegated causality elucidates the causal role of dynamical systems at the "edge of chaos", explicates evident cases of downward causation, and relates emergent phenomena to Godel's incompleteness theorem. Apparently rich implications are noticed in biology and Chinese philosophy.
