Ask Prometheusa measurement that indicates how much a substance differs from its origin
Degree (noun) means: a measurement that indicates how much a substance differs from its origin. It emerges from size, difference, matter, measurement: size.measurement and difference.relation combine with measurement.quantitative to yield a numerical indication of how far a substance is from its source. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 13, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
Examples
- Water boils at 100°C at sea level, 10 degrees higher than its standard freezing point. physics
- The pH of lemon juice is 2, a measure of how much more acidic it is than pure water. chemistry
- Mount Everest's peak is 8,848 meters above sea level, a degree of elevation from Earth's reference plane. geography
