Ask Prometheusto make a thing change its direction in space
Turn (verb) means: to make a thing change its direction in space. It emerges from motion, change, direction, space: motion together with a change of direction, enabled by the act of making, creates a new orientation of the thing in space. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 12, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
Examples
- Earth completes one full rotation every 23.93 hours, pivoting on its axis relative to the stars. astronomy
