things of matter that are kept for use in an action

Supplies (noun) means: things of matter that are kept for use in an action. It emerges from matter, keep, action, use: a pattern of energy persists in place and is designated for application in a change done by a thing. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 7, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
