a piece of information that is ordered with details about a person

Profile (noun) means: a piece of information that is ordered with details about a person. It emerges from piece, information, order, people: the piece collects details about a person into an ordered arrangement. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 9, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
