Abstract
This chapter focuses on the emergent electromagnetic properties in such heterogeneous materials that are, in today’s discussion, being more and more often called “metamaterials.” More precisely, the very concept of metamaterial is under study as also are the preconditions under which such a term is appropriate.

[The “abstruseness” of the Random House definition for metaphysics is evident in the following citation from “Subjects among other things” by E. Sosa (1987) in Philosophical Perspectives, Vol. 1, where also “metamaterial” is used in a different meaning (adjective) as in the present article: “If we allow real status to the materially derivative, it seems arbitrary to rule out objects that though immaterial are no more derivative; all the more so if in each case the mode of derivation is equally well understood. So it seems ill-advised and unnecessary to strain against the immaterial, or at least against that which is sufficiently meta-material (metaphysical?) to be distinct from the chunk of material that constitutes it at that time.” (italics not in the original) ]
