a parameter whose window is narrower than every other parameter's, so it alone sets the system's range

Examples

Emergence

from: parameter window narrow range sets system alone
through: The components form a collective comparison of ranges across a structured set, where one limiting range excludes others from determining system boundaries, thereby defining a singular constraint.
