Emergence definition

A ship emerges as a constructed structure for transport, where the organized arrangement of matter, as governed by structure, and the shape or arrangement that matter takes, as governed by form, are designed to travel on the surface of the transparent, tasteless, odorless liquid composed of hydrogen and oxygen molecules, essential for all known forms of life.
