A parameter whose window is such that maintenance is restored when drift returns it within the range.

Rest (noun) means: A parameter whose window is such that maintenance is restored when drift returns it within the range. It emerges from parameter, window, drift, maintenance: parameter.condition, window.range, drift.aimless, maintenance.upkeep, range.spatial, and return.movement interact so that aimless change in a parameter can bring it back into a sustaining range, restarting maintenance. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 18, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
