## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [motion](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-motion.movement), [part](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-part.relation), [body](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-body.physical), [go](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-go.movement), [position](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-position.spatial)

**Through:** A part of a body moves from one position to another, forming a discrete instance of motion.

**Novel properties:**
- discrete motion of a body part
- spatial displacement within a body
- sequential positional change

## Examples
- In 2019, NASA's Voyager 1 probe took a 0.0001-degree course correction using hydrazine thrusters after 37 years in interstellar space. *(engineering)*
- A single step by Usain Bolt covered 2.85 meters during his 9.58-second world record 100m sprint in Berlin, 2009. *(biology)*
