# integrity (state)

every one of a thing's windows open at once, with no internal part held outside its range to keep another part within its own

- Computed level: L18 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: window-ontology  ·  Arena: abstract-concepts

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [window](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-window.range), [parameter](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-parameter.condition), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [drift](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-drift.aimless), [open](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-open.spatial), [part](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-part.relation), [outside](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-outside.spatial), [held](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-held.grip), [keep](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-keep.maintenance), [hold](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-hold.physical), [once](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-once.temporal), [range](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-range.spatial)

**Through:** parameter.condition and window.range interact in every direction, with each window held open so no part is kept outside its range by force

**Novel properties:**
- simultaneous openness
- unconstrained internal coherence
- temporally singular configuration

## Examples
- The International Space Station maintains atmospheric pressure while orbiting Earth at 7.66 km/s, every hatch sealed against vacuum. *(engineering)*
- In 2020, the DNS root zone signed with cryptographic keys renewed every 13 months without interruption since 2010. *(computing)*
- The human blood-brain barrier permits oxygen diffusion but blocks pathogens and large molecules, preserving neural chemistry. *(biology)*
