Emergence definition

A fee or mark indicating payment for the transmission and delivery of information through a medium, typically in the form of a physical or digital stamp or label, which arises from the interaction between the collection of goods or services, their production and distribution, and the action of exchanging them, ultimately leading to a mutually agreed-upon value being assigned to the transaction period.
