the space between two boundaries

Range (noun) means: the space between two boundaries. It emerges from space, boundary: space.extent and boundary.limit together define a space that is limited on each side. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 3, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
