## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent), [big](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-big.size), [open](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-open.spatial)

**Through:** when a space is both big and open it is a field

**Novel properties:**
- space for movement
- space without boundary

## Examples
- The Serengeti Plain spans 30,000 square kilometers of open grassland in Tanzania and Kenya. *(geography)*
- The Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah form a vast, flat expanse visible from space. *(geology)*
- Wheat fields in the Punjab region of India cover over 15 million hectares of contiguous farmland. *(agriculture)*
