# miracle economy (outran-model)

*Ordinarily means:* an economy that grew much faster than expected

A collective self whose reach became wider faster than models of its conditions allowed, the difference read as showing what kind of self it is.

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [collective self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-collective-self.shared), [reach](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-reach.action), [become](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-become.change), [difference](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-difference.relation), [self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-self.personal), [wide](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wide.spatial), [fast](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-fast.speed), [model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-model.representation), [condition](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-condition.state), [allow](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-allow.permission), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [show](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-show.visual), [pattern](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-pattern.regularity), [self-model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-self-model.reflexive), [narrative](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-narrative.self-story)

**Through:** Observers' models of the group's conditions set a ceiling that the widening passed; the gap between model and result is not read as a model error but taken into the narrative as proof of the self's kind.

**Novel properties:**
- a model's failure read as the self's merit
- growth turned into identity
- a window wider than the conditions were read to allow

## Examples
- West Germany's rapid recovery and growth in the 1950s is known as the Wirtschaftswunder, the 'economic miracle'. *(economics)*
