# common ground (overlap)

*Ordinarily means:* shared basis for agreement or cooperation

a parameter that is inside the windows of each, causing their boundaries to touch, so the connection can persist without maintenance

- Computed level: L15 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: bonds and their maintenance

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [parameter](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-parameter.condition), [window](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-window.range), [boundary](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-boundary.limit), [touch](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-touch.together), [connection](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-connection.social), [maintenance](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-maintenance.upkeep), [cause](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-cause.reason)

**Through:** when the windows intersect, the boundaries touch and the connection persists without maintenance

**Novel properties:**
- parameter overlap
