Emergence definition

A freestanding structure designed to commemorate or honor a person, event, or idea, often featuring architectural grandeur and permanence, 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, and the esteem and respect imbued by societies over time.
