Ask Prometheusthat which does not differ from the thing it is about
Exact (adjective) means: that which does not differ from the thing it is about. It emerges from difference, just: the difference relation is negated, leaving no difference between description and thing, so the description matches perfectly. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 3, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
