Supramolecular polymers possess features typical of complex systems, but the mechanisms that lead to the emergence of collective properties inside them are often difficult to ascertain. Here the authors show how nontrivial collective behaviors, typical of higher-scale, more complex systems, may emerge in dynamical supramolecular polymer systems already at low-complexity levels, from the internal dynamical diversity characterizing their ensembles.
