the state that follows after a change

Outcome (noun) means: the state that follows after a change. It emerges from change, state, follows, time: a change alters a thing over time, and through sequential progression, a new state emerges as the outcome. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
