# energy (capacity)

That by which things can be not as they were.

- Computed level: L0 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: published  ·  Domain: foundation  ·  Arena: E0

## Examples
- The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster released radiation after tsunami waters disabled backup generators. *(engineering)*
- Photosynthesis in spinach leaves converts sunlight into chemical bonds, powering growth. *(biology)*
- The Large Hadron Collider accelerates protons to 6.5 TeV, enabling observation of particle decay. *(physics)*
