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

**Through:** when a part follows all other parts in order, it becomes the final one through temporal succession

**Novel properties:**
- endpoint of a sequence
- completeness of ordering
- temporal finality

## Examples
- The final movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony lasts about seven minutes and follows three preceding movements. *(music)*
- In the 2020 Mars Perseverance rover landing sequence, the 'sky crane' maneuver was the final step before touchdown. *(engineering)*
- The signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, marked the final act formally ending World War I. *(history)*
