A piece of metal used to carry current.

Cable (noun) means: A piece of metal used to carry current. It emerges from metal, piece, carrying, current: The metal portion carries the flow of current through controlled movement. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 14, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
