Certainly, dissent, or "difference" in general is "an emergent phenomenon" -- but what counts, and what <i>can</i> be "part of the design", is how the group chooses to treat people who are different! For example, keeping the "special ed" kids in regular school not only means the educational system stays aware of them and their issues, but it means that the "normal" kids get regular exposure to neurodiverse kids, and at least occasionally have to communicate with them.
