## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [open](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-open.spatial), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [mean](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-mean.signify), [set](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-set.fix), [reach](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-reach.action), [others](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-others.distinct-entities), [model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-model.representation), [constraint](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-constraint.limiting), [power](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-power.over), [outside](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-outside.spatial)

**Through:** A wall made of words stands in two places, where it was meant and where it was written, and the setter's model holds only the first. Whatever fits through the difference is, by the wall's own terms, inside the window.

**Novel properties:**
- a wall that stands in two places
- reach the setter's model never held
- an exit that is inside the rules

## Examples
- The 'Double Irish' arrangement let firms route profits through two Irish-registered companies, one managed from a tax haven; Ireland closed it to new companies from 2015. *(law)*
