the number that results when three is added to three

Six (noun) means: the number that results when three is added to three. It emerges from three, add, number, results: three.cardinal and add.operation work together to form a new quantity through combining parts, yielding a result distinct from the parts alone. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 12, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
