a pattern of energy that persists in space and time and is used to express information

English (noun) means: a pattern of energy that persists in space and time and is used to express information. It emerges from pattern, energy, information, express: the pattern of energy repeats regular changes to express information. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 11, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
