Source physicalism, unlike omni-theism, has a structural commitment to bottom-up emergence that makes simple micro-level architecture a predicted necessity, not a contingent feature.

Bottom-up emergence(as a core mechanism in physicalism): The idea that complex things arise from simpler parts combining together—like how consciousness might emerge from simple brain cells working together.
Contingent feature(as used in metaphysics and logic): A characteristic that something happens to have but could have been different—it's not necessary for the thing to be what it is. It's contingent that you were born in your particular city, but not contingent that you need oxygen to breathe.
Micro-level(describing the building blocks of existence): The smallest, most basic level of reality—like individual atoms or particles, as opposed to larger, visible objects.
Predicted necessity(contrasting with contingent features): Something that a theory says must be true based on its own logic, rather than something that just happens to be true by accident.
