to let a thing go from a place where it is bounded to a place where it is not

Release (verb) means: to let a thing go from a place where it is bounded to a place where it is not. It emerges from boundary, change, go, let: the boundary limit opens, allowing a change process that permits movement from one space to another. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 9, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
