a recorded series of visual and audio patterns that are shown together over time

Film (noun) means: a recorded series of visual and audio patterns that are shown together over time. It emerges from video, audio, pattern, recorded: audio and video are synchronized and presented in sequence, creating a cohesive sensory experience over time. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 12, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
