## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [let](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-let.permission), [set](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-set.fix), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [stop](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-stop.action), [reach](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-reach.action), [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension)

**Through:** The same walls can be set with or without consent; the difference is that the bounded thing could have stopped the setting and did not, so the walls are both another's and its own.

**Novel properties:**
- a wall set by another yet chosen by the bounded
- meaningful only where refusal was possible
