TV Tropes's No. 1 bread themed lesbian. she/her, fae/faer
Combinatorial Explosion is what makes this difficult to pull off, Developer's Foresight for cases where they go out of their way to account for seemingly every possible interaction.
Emergent Gameplay is going to the opposite end of the spectrum, the most extreme being minecraft-type games where you're just sort of setting players in a sandbox to invent their own game.
(Also, Set Piece Puzzle for the self-contained obstacles, Insurmountable Waist-High Fence for the more egregious variety.)

Actually, the video in the OP uses "Emergent Gameplay" as a synonym for "systemic game"—see the 4:45 mark.
Edited by MetaFour
The video says that Systemic Gameplay leads to Emergent Gameplay, not that they're synonymous (it goes on to give examples of Systemic Games that fail to produce Emergent Gameplay).
By definition, systemic mechanics can't be emergent because they're something the devs have to implement.
EDIT: Also, it seems to mostly bypass the issue of Combinatorial Explosion — When everything reacts to fire in the same way, all the bases for using a lighter are covered (indeed, if there are other sources of fire, the lighter's specific purpose becomes being a fancy lighter to give to a dame, as the article suggests).

I was thinking of taking this to TLP, unless anyone has anything to add (or caution)?

Basically what's described in this video
.
When a game's systems are completely intertwined (i.e. the complete opposite of self contained obstacles which only respond to one ability).
