Ask PrometheusTo move with a thing that is in one place and then is in another, where the thing remains in contact and under control.
Carrying (verb) means: To move with a thing that is in one place and then is in another, where the thing remains in contact and under control. It emerges from motion, persist, matter, contact: Motion moves matter through space while persist.continue ensures the matter stays connected to the mover across time, with contact.physical and control.ability maintaining the relational bounds of the transport. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 5, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
Examples
- The Curiosity rover carried a 2.5 kg laser spectrometer across 27 km of Martian terrain from 2012 to 2023. space exploration
- A white blood cell carried a phagocytosed tuberculosis bacterium through the bloodstream to a lymph node. biology
- The Panama Canal's lock system carried the MV Ever Ace 26 meters upward and across the continental divide in 2022. engineering
Emergence
- bounded persistence of matter during motion
- controlled spatial displacement
- continuous physical connection during transfer
