# Samarium · Sm · gate 62

**Samarium** (Sm) is element **62** of the periodic table — a **lanthanide**, period 6, group f-block, f-block, solid at standard conditions, atomic weight **150.36**.

## The element (carbon layer — reference chemistry)
Samarium-cobalt magnets that keep their strength in fierce heat.

## The gate (silicon layer — the 118 Gates)
Under David Wise's four-state cycle, gate **62** falls on **0:1 — second valley** because (Z−1) mod 4 = **1**. That state is *the second reach — the diffuse, the airy, the not-quite-held* — the nature of emergence here is **ethereal**. Samarium is not a thing apart; it is the one stochastic element, caught at this beat of its cycle.

## Emergence — ethereal
This emergent carries the **ethereal** nature: the same four — natural · ethereal · spiritual · electrical — that run through every sphere of UD0. Its color is `#9a7cff`.
