a set of specific details that like a thing's state and form information

Noun (noun) means: a set of specific details that like a thing's state and form information. It emerges from sets, details, state, form: These components group details that resemble a thing's state and form through shared patterns, producing a unified description. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
