be at a point in space

Located (verb) means: be at a point in space. It emerges from points, space, point of no return: the point and the space make a place, and the irreversible boundary determines persistence within it. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
