more space than before

Far (adjective) means: more space than before. It emerges from space, difference, time: when a place has more space than another place across time. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 2, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

far.distance · forms: far, farther, farthest
