## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [system](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-system.organized), [knowledge](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-knowledge.cognitive), [matter](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-matter.substance), [get](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-get.acquisition), [organized](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-organized.structure)

**Through:** The organized structure acquires cognitive knowledge about persistent material substances through systematic interaction.

**Novel properties:**
- empirical understanding
- repeatable discovery process
- theoretical modeling

## Examples
- The Hubble Space Telescope has calibrated its instruments yearly since 1990 to maintain observational accuracy. *(astronomy)*
- The Human Genome Project mapped all 3.2 billion base pairs of human DNA by 2003 using collaborative sequencing. *(biology)*
- CERN's Large Hadron Collider detects particle collisions at 13 TeV to probe fundamental matter structure. *(physics)*
