## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [big](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-big.size), [usual](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-usual.common), [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent)

**Through:** When something has more space than a typical instance, and that typical size sets a baseline, the perception of excess extent emerges.

**Novel properties:**
- excess extent
- comparative largeness
- deviation from norm

## Examples
- The Great Wall of China stretches over 21,000 kilometers, far longer than most fortifications. *(engineering)*
- Jupiter has a diameter of 139,820 km, making it the largest planet in the Solar System. *(astronomy)*
- The 2020 Amazon rainforest fires affected over 1.5 million hectares, an area larger than many countries. *(environment)*
