a place where items are kept in a bounded structure so they persist after use

Store (noun) means: a place where items are kept in a bounded structure so they persist after use. It emerges from space, structure, capacity, boundary: A bounded arrangement of matter in space creates a persistent location where distinct items remain after being used. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 12, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
