Something that is in a thing but is not all of that thing.

- Computed level: L1 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: published  ·  Domain: logic  ·  Arena: E1

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent), [pattern](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-pattern.regularity)

**Through:** A pattern contains a smaller region of space that is itself patterned.

**Novel properties:**
- containment
- composition

## Examples
- The International Space Station's solar array wing failed in 2007 due to a guide wire snag, halting power generation for Node 2. *(engineering)*
- A human red blood cell lacks a nucleus, yet carries oxygen within the circulatory system. *(biology)*
- The 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland dispersed ash particles that grounded European air traffic for six days. *(geophysics)*
