## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [matter](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-matter.substance), [marks](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-marks.visual), [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent), [change](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-change.process), [interaction](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-interaction.process), [extent](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-extent.spatial)

**Through:** matter and marks visual interact across space extent, altering each other through mutual change.

**Novel properties:**
- visual perception
- spatial interaction
- mutual state alteration

## Examples
- The Hubble Space Telescope captured the Pillars of Creation in 1995, revealing star formation in the Eagle Nebula. *(astronomy)*
- A frog's retina detects flies moving across its visual field, triggering a tongue strike at 150 milliseconds latency. *(neurobiology)*
- The 2017 total solar eclipse was visible along a 70-mile-wide path from Oregon to South Carolina. *(geophysics)*
