an organ that pumps fluid through the body by means of rhythmic contractions

Heart (noun) means: an organ that pumps fluid through the body by means of rhythmic contractions. It emerges from matter, structure, body, fluid: the arrangement of physical matter enables rhythmic movement that moves fluid through a body. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 14, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
