A model persists longer when its parameters have a window constrained by symmetry than when they are merely narrow due to regularity; falsified if both fail at similar rates.

Symmetry versus regularity licence (noun) means: A model persists longer when its parameters have a window constrained by symmetry than when they are merely narrow due to regularity; falsified if both fail at similar rates. It emerges from parameter, window, drift, model: The components jointly track how long a model endures under symmetric versus regular parameter constraints by evaluating failure rates under drift. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 12, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
