When matter has a pattern of energy that is not the same as before and can change others through contact.

Charged (adjective) means: When matter has a pattern of energy that is not the same as before and can change others through contact. It emerges from matter, energy, pattern, contact: Matter with a persistent energy pattern interacts across boundaries through physical contact, enabling energy flow when connected. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 5, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
