the top part of a body that controls the body

Head (noun) means: the top part of a body that controls the body. It emerges from body, part, control, top: The body provides a physical entity, the part marks a region on it, top specifies that region's position, and control links that region to the body's regulation and actions. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
