a collection of visual marks arranged digitally and shared electronically

Pics (noun) means: a collection of visual marks arranged digitally and shared electronically. It emerges from pictures, collection, digital, electrical: pictures.visual form a collection.group that is transmitted via digital.electrical signals over electrical.electrical pathways. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 14, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
