supervene

Occur as consequence

Supervene means to occur as something additional or unexpected, often interrupting or following what came before.

In philosophy, supervene has a technical sense: one set of properties supervenes on another when changes in the first require changes in the second.

A new crisis supervened before they could address the first.

Mental states are said to supervene on brain states.
