a place where a surface arrangement can be used for motion of things

Street (noun) means: a place where a surface arrangement can be used for motion of things. It emerges from location, surface, arrangement, motion: The place with a surface arrangement can be used for motion of things. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 13, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
