a metal that has a white color

Silver (noun) means: a metal that has a white color. It emerges from matter, energy, color, metal: matter and energy interact to produce a substance that reflects light in a way perceived as white and conducts electricity while maintaining a fixed shape. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 14, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
