a number that is the difference of a thing with a usual thing

Rating (noun) means: a number that is the difference of a thing with a usual thing. It emerges from number, difference, usual: the number is the size.measurement of the difference.relation between the thing and the usual. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 7, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
