a set of points with regular arrangement in space

Line (noun) means: a set of points with regular arrangement in space. It emerges from sets, pattern, space, arrangement: the grouped points maintain a consistent spatial arrangement through regular placement in extent. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
