To move with a thing that is in one place and then is in another, where the thing remains in contact.

Carrying (verb) means: To move with a thing that is in one place and then is in another, where the thing remains in contact. 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).
