# danger (condition)

proximity to a wall of the window, distinct from pressure, which is about the inner wall.

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [window](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-window.range), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [near](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-near.spatial), [distinct](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-distinct.attribute), [pressure](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-pressure.ontological)

**Through:** The components together establish a condition where closeness to the boundary of a parameter's allowable range is distinguished from internal constriction, marking an external limit approached without immediate termination.

**Novel properties:**
- proximity to termination without identity loss
- external boundary nearness
- distinction from internal pressure

## Examples
- The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi reactor meltdown began when seawater flooded backup generators near the coastal wall. *(engineering)*
- In 1986, Chernobyl's Reactor 4 exploded during a safety test that brought conditions too close to the operational wall. *(physics)*
- The 2008 financial crisis intensified as mortgage defaults approached the legal boundary of insured credit derivatives. *(economics)*
