*Ordinarily means:* a fresh start that leaves past troubles behind

A collective self naming a time after which walls its past set hold no more, while it reads itself as the same self.

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [collective self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-collective-self.shared), [name](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-name.identifier), [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [past](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-past.temporal), [set](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-set.fix), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-self.personal), [hold](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-hold.physical), [narrative](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-narrative.self-story), [identity](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-identity.self)

**Through:** The narrative moves its own walls without ending the story: a line is drawn in time, acts before it stop setting walls on acts after it, and identity carries across so the group need not read itself as a new group.

**Novel properties:**
- walls released without the self ending
- a break announced from inside the story
- the past kept as a chapter, not as a rule
