Jorge says they are confusing, and he is right, but they are not utterly
useless.  Although a mass has all the properties of its components, it also
has some emergent properties, and the level of emergence may appear at
some given level of the mass.

Consider that mass as a mass of cells.  10% of a person is a dead person,
but 100% of that mass is alive; 90% may or may not be alive.
