change when matter interacts with marks visible in space extent

See (verb) means: change when matter interacts with marks visible in space extent. It emerges from matter, marks, space, change: matter and marks visual interact across space extent, altering each other through mutual change. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 6, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
