And to answer the original question about emergence: Well, if you use MOCs as category pages, this should not prevent you from adding more MOCs at some point later in your note taking. And a way in which this can happen is to search for similar ghost notes (or also existing ones) and grouping them in a new way. So new categories indeed can emerge from your notes. But of course, the way there feels a lot like sorting and categorising, rather than observing the spontaneous emergence happening all by itself ;.) Nonetheless, I think this is what people call emergence in this context: you will notice it, as soon as you feel the urge for re-cathegorising your MOCs. This may take half a year or so.
