many transformations available locally without leaving the window

Rich (adjective) means: many transformations available locally without leaving the window. It emerges from window, parameter, transformation, local: Conditions within a window's range persist through maintenance, enabling accessible local transformations that do not require exiting the window. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
