to receive data from a network into a local device

Download (verb) means: to receive data from a network into a local device. It emerges from data, network, receive, device: Data from a network is received through communication into a device located in the local spatial context. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
