not here but there

- Computed level: L3 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: general  ·  Arena: away

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [off](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-off.state), [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent)

**Through:** off.state combined with space.extent places a thing at a distance from a reference point

**Novel properties:**
- distance from reference
- absence from original location

## Examples
- The Voyager 1 spacecraft is over 24 billion kilometers from Earth, traveling through interstellar space. *(spaceflight)*
- During the 2020 eruption of Taal Volcano, evacuees were moved 15 kilometers away to designated shelters in Batangas. *(disaster_management)*
- The International Space Station orbits 408 kilometers above Earth, visible from the ground as a moving point of light. *(astronomy)*
