the result of transforming matter through sustained work over time

Production (noun) means: the result of transforming matter through sustained work over time. It emerges from matter, work, create, results: matter is transformed by work when creation occurs over time, yielding an outcome. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 12, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
