- Computed level: L3 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: general

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension), [pattern](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-pattern.regularity), [motion](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-motion.movement)

**Through:** Patterns of change in different things persist through time in a way that their timing remains aligned.

**Novel properties:**
- shared timing
- coordinated rhythm
