To make a pattern that persists in space and time by setting its boundaries through interaction.

Establishes (verb) means: To make a pattern that persists in space and time by setting its boundaries through interaction. It emerges from pattern, persist, boundary, interaction: Pattern.regularity and boundary.limit are formed through interaction.process, allowing something to persist.continue in space and time. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 5, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
