## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [consent](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-consent.given), [power](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-power.over), [set](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-set.fix), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [name](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-name.identifier), [choose](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-choose.decision), [let](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-let.permission), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension)

**Through:** A power chosen after naming what it would do reads the choice as consent to those walls in particular; the mandate is how much setting that reading licenses, and it is read by the power more widely than by those who chose it.

**Novel properties:**
- consent tied to named walls
- a claim read wider by its holder than its givers
