A flat piece of matter with a surface on each side and a boundary around, where marks in a pattern are on one or both surfaces.

Page (noun) means: A flat piece of matter with a surface on each side and a boundary around, where marks in a pattern are on one or both surfaces. It emerges from matter, side, boundary, pattern: Matter has two sides and a boundary, and patterns of marks are arranged on the surfaces through interaction. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
