A collective self that makes its boundary wider to members living outside its land, reading them as among those who choose its government.

Diaspora vote (noun) means: A collective self that makes its boundary wider to members living outside its land, reading them as among those who choose its government. It emerges from collective self, boundary, choose, government: The boundary of who chooses government is drawn by membership and not by place, so the group's edge runs past the edge of its land. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 18, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
