to see something and know it is there

Notice (verb) means: to see something and know it is there. It emerges from see, know: seeing supplies the sensory pattern while knowing evaluates it as present, together producing awareness. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 8, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
