## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [matter](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-matter.substance), [big](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-big.size)

**Through:** Matter in a place interacts with space to resist motion, and when that resistance is greater than usual, the effect is perceived as heavy.

**Novel properties:**
- resists motion
- presses down
