a request that someone be paid to perform a specific act

Commission (noun) means: a request that someone be paid to perform a specific act. It emerges from request, pay, action, act: the request and payment together initiate a binding expectation to perform a specific act. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 18, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
