a change process that uses a substance to change a condition

Treatment (noun) means: a change process that uses a substance to change a condition. It emerges from change, substance, state, condition: the process uses the substance to change the condition. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 13, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
