a piece of material that is formed into a shape and can be put in a device

Key (noun) means: a piece of material that is formed into a shape and can be put in a device. It emerges from piece, material, form, device: the piece of material is formed into a shape that can be put in a device. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
