作者：
Highlights：
• A case study of a 72-h online social experiment on Reddit, a micro-society.
• More than one million user accounts created more than 1500 visual objects.
• Boundary conditions were basic rules of user action on visual and social objects.
• The visual and social artifacts evolved along two interdependent trajectories.
• Emergence as bottom-up control mechanism is complementary to top-down rules.
