A model in a thing that is trusted because it has been the same through time, and so its future is expected to be like its past.

Track record (noun) means: A model in a thing that is trusted because it has been the same through time, and so its future is expected to be like its past. It emerges from model, trust, past, persist: noun. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 15, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

track-record.model-and · forms: track record

ordinarily means: A history of someone's or something's past performance.
