Emergence definition

A colander emerges from the combination of a tool, which is a cultural construct that requires system, force, and pattern, and its application to liquids, specifically water, which is a transparent, tasteless, odorless liquid composed of hydrogen and oxygen molecules, essential for all known forms of life, and food, which is a living system or structure involving energy and pattern.
