# midlife crisis (visibility)

*Ordinarily means:* a period of anxiety when someone feels their life is ending

a self-model whose age parameter drifts to the far wall of its window, so the far wall is seen

- Computed level: L15 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: self-model drifting

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [self-model](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-self-model.reflexive), [age](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-age.temporal), [parameter](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-parameter.condition), [drift](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-drift.aimless), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [window](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-window.range), [far](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-far.distance)

**Through:** the age parameter drifts to the far wall of the window, so the far wall is seen

**Novel properties:**
- far wall visibility
