- Computed level: L10 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: common  ·  Arena: emergenceLexicon

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [part](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-part.relation), [compare](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-compare.relation), [process](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-process.general)

**Through:** the process compares the parts and shows differences

**Novel properties:**
- systematic breakdown
- identified differences
- organized understanding

## Examples
- In 2011, the LIGO collaboration compared laser interferometer data from Hanford and Livingston to detect gravitational wave patterns. *(physics)*
- The 2020 audit of the European Central Bank examined individual member contributions to assess capital subscription accuracy. *(economics)*
- During the 2017 WannaCry outbreak, Kaspersky Lab dissected the ransomware’s code to identify its encryption and propagation mechanisms. *(computing)*
