A thing whose reach a self model reads as working with its own against the same walls.

Ally (noun) means: A thing whose reach a self model reads as working with its own against the same walls. It emerges from reach, self-model, read, work: Two reaches read as pointed at the same walls add up; the alliance lasts as long as the reading of a shared wall does, and ends when that wall is gone. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
