# expectation (predicted)

a model's predicted range for a parameter

- Computed level: L10 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: window  ·  Arena: abstract

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-model.representation), [range](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-range.spatial), [parameter](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-parameter.condition)

**Through:** a model.representation produces a range.spatial for a parameter.condition

**Novel properties:**
- predicted bounds
- temporal extension
- conditional scope

## Examples
- The Hubble Space Telescope's orbit decays predictably, and NASA models its re-entry within a 5-year window by 2040. *(engineering)*
- The IPCC's AR6 report projects global temperature rise between 1.4°C and 4.4°C by 2100 under current emissions scenarios. *(climate)*
- Alphabet's stock price is modeled to fluctuate between $120–$160 over 18 months by JPMorgan's quantitative analysts. *(economics)*
