# far (distance)

more space than before

- Computed level: L2 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: spatial  ·  Arena: everyday usage

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent), [difference](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-difference.relation), [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension)

**Through:** when a place has more space than another place across time

**Novel properties:**
- relative spatial increase
- temporal comparison

## Examples
- Voyager 1 was 15 billion miles from Earth in 2023, farther than any other human-made object. *(spaceflight)*
- The Moon drifts 3.8 cm farther from Earth each year due to tidal forces. *(astronomy)*
- In 2020, Betelgeuse dimmed visibly when a dust cloud moved farther from its surface. *(astrophysics)*
