- Computed level: L8 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: speech  ·  Arena: says

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [message](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-message.information), [others](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-others.distinct-entities), [distinct](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-distinct.attribute), [entities](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-entities.object), [get](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-get.acquisition), [make](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-make.verb)

**Through:** information is formed by one entity through the act of making, and acquired by other entities that are distinct from the first.

**Novel properties:**
- directed information transfer
- asymmetrical awareness
- intentional communication

## Examples
- The Arecibo Observatory broadcast a coded message toward star cluster M13 in 1974. *(astronomy)*
- The 2020 U.S. Census collected self-reported data from 331 million residents. *(institutions)*
- Python's print() function outputs strings to stdout, visible in terminal sessions. *(computing)*
