to go in a line that follows the extent of a thing

Along (adjective) means: to go in a line that follows the extent of a thing. It emerges from go, line, extent, follows: the movement follows the extent, tracing a line in spatial continuity. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 17, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
