When matter is not bound by a boundary, it can move in space and remain.

Free (adjective) means: When matter is not bound by a boundary, it can move in space and remain. It emerges from boundary, motion, matter, persist: When a boundary does not constrain and a control does not restrict, matter can persistently move through space. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 3, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
