Abstract: Let $X$ be a proper, geodesically complete CAT(0) space which satisfies Chen and Eberlein's duality condition. We show the existence of a strong notion of rank for $X$ by proving that the parallel sets $P_v$ of geodesics $v$ in $X$ are generically flat. More precisely, let $GX$ be the space of parametrized unit-speed geodesics in $X$. There is a unique $k$ and a dense $G_{d}elta$ set $mathcalA$ in $GX$ such that $P_v$ is isometric to flat Euclidean space $mathbb{R}^k$, for all $vinmathcalA$. It follows that $mathbb{R}^k$ isometrically embeds in $P_v$ for every $vinGX$.
