a claim that requires a parameter to be both inside and outside a single window at the same time.

Contradiction (noun) means: a claim that requires a parameter to be both inside and outside a single window at the same time. It emerges from parameter, window, wall, inside: The condition of a parameter is required to be simultaneously within and beyond the bounds of a single range at the same moment, as defined by the range's endpoints and the constraint of singularity over time. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

from: parameter window wall inside outside required single time
through: The condition of a parameter is required to be simultaneously within and beyond the bounds of a single range at the same moment, as defined by the range's endpoints and the constraint of singularity over time.
