a structure of pieces that are in an order

- Computed level: L9 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: semantic  ·  Arena: EmergenceLexicon

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [piece](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-piece.portion), [structure](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-structure.arrangement), [order](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-order.arrangement)

**Through:** the pieces are arranged in a sequence constrained by a narrow window of positions to form a structure

**Novel properties:**
- sequential dependency
- position specificity
- bounded ordering

## Examples
- The periodic table arranges 118 elements by atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. *(chemistry)*
- The Fibonacci sequence defines numbers where each term is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. *(mathematics)*
- The U.S. Presidential Line of Succession specifies the order in which officials assume the presidency if the office is vacated. *(institutions)*
