Flint, again, that is quite plausible. One term for what you are describing is "emergence". Often a larger scale thing can "emerge" from the simple behaviours of small scale units.
For example, gas molecules behave according to Newtonian physics, and this results in things like pressure and shock waves and the cylindrical shape of tornadoes. Likewise, a riot "emerges" from the behaviour of many individuals in the street, as a recession emerges from the behaviour of people in the economic sphere.

So, to continue classifying Flint (and spelling it properly) I think he is an Emergentist Deist. Come to think of it, I think I am too.
