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

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [motion](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-motion.movement), [message](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-message.information), [make](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-make.verb), [space](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-space.extent)

**Through:** The act of making causes a message to move through space, connecting source and destination via directed motion.

**Novel properties:**
- directed information transfer
- caused message displacement
- sender-receiver linkage

## Examples
- The Voyager 1 probe sent its first signal from interstellar space in 2012, detected by NASA's Deep Space Network. *(space)*
- In 2020, WhatsApp delivered 100 billion encrypted messages per day across 180 countries. *(computing)*
- Pony Express riders sent mail from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, averaging 75 miles per day in 1860. *(institutions)*
