a liquid substance that is a product of energy

Oil (noun) means: a liquid substance that is a product of energy. It emerges from liquid, substance, energy, products: the liquid and energy together make a product that provides energy. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
