A set is fixed but you have an infinite number of sets. We could imagine a (infinitely large) set that contains all primes. But how was that set constructed? To construct such a set an iterative process has to be continuously applied to the prior set. I consider this akin to emergence because physical processes act much the same way and result in novel configurations (sets).
