the way something is given out to many spaces or people

Distribution (noun) means: the way something is given out to many spaces or people. It emerges from share, space, give, people: share and give move portions across space to people, forming a pattern defined by a way. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
