## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [self-model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-self-model.reflexive), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [set](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-set.fix), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [near](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-near.spatial), [rules](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-rules.social), [allow](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-allow.permission), [keep](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-keep.maintenance), [repair](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-repair.restore)

**Through:** The reading is not only that the walls are near but that another put them there against a rule; it is kept rather than dropped, so it becomes a standing claim that shapes the self model's reading of that other.

**Novel properties:**
- harm read as owed back
- a reading kept as a claim
- walls blamed on a setter
