Emergence

from: parameter window drift maintenance existence outside performance range return time
through: parameter.condition changes due to drift.aimless, moving outside the performance.quality bounds but remaining within existence.state; maintenance.upkeep acts over time.dimension to return.movement the parameter into range.spatial within window.range.
