a structure puts name of place in space so a person can see where each place is

Map (noun) means: a structure puts name of place in space so a person can see where each place is. It emerges from structure, name, site, put: when a structure organizes names and locations in space, people can visually perceive where places are. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 8, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
