to look visual at items in a space and go from one to another

Browse (verb) means: to look visual at items in a space and go from one to another. It emerges from look, items, space, go: The eyes or cursor look at items and go from one to another in the space. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
