Emergence definition

Quilting is a process that emerges from the shape or arrangement that matter takes, as the particles that make up matter interact and transform in space, and the dynamic pattern of movement and transformation that unfolds over time, resulting in a predictable and repeatable pattern of transformation, driven by energy and involving the integration of fabric and digital patterns through automated stitching and computer-controlled sewing machines.
