Question 1

What is the meaning of code?

Accepted Answer

Code (noun) means: pattern of marks that is information when the marks follow a regular arrangement. It emerges from pattern, information, arrangement, marks: The visual marks form a spatial arrangement where their sequential recurrence of a regular pattern becomes information. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

Question 2

What does code emerge from?

Accepted Answer

Code emerges from pattern, information, arrangement, marks, follows, regular. The visual marks form a spatial arrangement where their sequential recurrence of a regular pattern becomes information. Properties present in the whole and in none of the parts: recognizable structure over time, temporal repeatability as signal, structured information in sequence.

Question 3

How does code chain down to the foundations?

Accepted Answer

Code is at computed level 10. Its chain runs through pattern down to the four foundations: space, time, energy and pattern. Levels are computed from the graph, never asserted.
