a motion where a part of a body goes from one position to another

Step (noun) means: a motion where a part of a body goes from one position to another. It emerges from motion, part, body, go: A part of a body moves from one position to another, forming a discrete instance of motion. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
