# wealth (range)

the range of a parameter within which a thing can be without new conditions having to be met first.

- Computed level: L11 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: window  ·  Arena: emergent

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

**Through:** The components together define a bounded parameter range within a persistent state, where the limits are determined by order and spatial boundaries, and the persistence of the thing depends on not triggering new conditions.

**Novel properties:**
- bounded persistence
- condition-free range
- parameter stability

## Examples
- The International Space Station maintains internal pressure between 97.9–102.7 kPa to avoid triggering emergency oxygen release. *(engineering)*
- The US Federal Reserve targets inflation at 2% annually, adjusting rates if deviations exceed ±0.5% over three quarters. *(economics)*
- Lake Mead's water level stayed within 305–322 meters above sea level from 1983 to 2000, keeping hydroelectric turbines operational. *(infrastructure)*
