a window through which the parameters of many other windows are set

Chokepoint (noun) means: a window through which the parameters of many other windows are set. It emerges from sets, parameter, window: A grouped set of conditions is accessed and adjusted through an opening, enabling coordinated control over multiple parameters. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 11, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
