Emergence definition

A member of a religious community who dedicates their life to spiritual practice, contemplation, and service, often living in a communal setting with a focus on simplicity and devotion, built upon the organized arrangement of particles in space, as governed by structure, and the shape or arrangement that matter takes, as the particles that make up matter interact and transform in space.
