## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [reach](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-reach.action), [self-model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-self-model.reflexive), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [work](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-work.effort), [against](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-against.opposition), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end)

**Through:** Two reaches read as pointed at the same walls add up; the alliance lasts as long as the reading of a shared wall does, and ends when that wall is gone.

**Novel properties:**
- reach added across two things
- an alignment that dies with its shared wall
