the difference parameter between two self-models has drifted to the wall of no difference, placing their windows in contact so that the connection persists without any maintenance

Meeting of minds (noun) means: the difference parameter between two self-models has drifted to the wall of no difference, placing their windows in contact so that the connection persists without any maintenance. It emerges from self-model, difference, parameter, wall: the drift of the difference parameter brings the two windows into contact, eliminating the need for maintenance. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
