## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [collective self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-collective-self.shared), [boundary](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-boundary.limit), [company](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-company.economic), [power](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-power.over), [reach](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-reach.action), [make](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-make.verb), [wide](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wide.spatial), [use](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-use.application), [government](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-government.administrative), [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), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [groups](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-groups.collection)

**Through:** Once a company is read as inside the group's boundary, the government's power over walls is spent on widening its reach, and a gain for the company reads as a gain for the nation.

**Novel properties:**
- a company's reach read as a nation's
- the group's power spent on one member firm

## Examples
