the part of a space that is equally distant from the boundaries

Mid (noun) means: the part of a space that is equally distant from the boundaries. It emerges from center, boundary, part, space: the center of a space together with its boundaries determines the region that lies equally between them. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 4, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
