mechanical vs organic solidarity?

Yep, definitely relates to emergence. I'd though like to hear more about how the distinction between "mechanical" and "organic" is being made, and how THAT distinction is/is not parallel to anything in our models/discussion so far. One distinction seems to be simple rules versus simple playing playing out in a social context? Another that arises in my mind at least is a distinction between rules as acted and rules as consciously perceived.
