the arrangement of regions with boundaries on land

Geography (noun) means: the arrangement of regions with boundaries on land. It emerges from region, boundary, land, arrangement: regions are arranged in space and bounded by boundaries on land. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
