Constraint (noun) means: A wall placed deliberately, narrowing a window to keep drift inside it. It emerges from parameter, window, wall, drift: A wall.range-end acts on a window.range by making it smaller through narrow.spatial, in order to contain drift.aimless within bounds. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 12, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
