What It Means for Something to Persist

Persistence doesn’t mean permanence. It means surviving pressure.

Most patterns vanish quickly because they can’t withstand constraint, noise, or disruption. A few endure—not because they’re perfect, but because they fit their environment well enough to last. From atoms to ecosystems to galaxies, persistence is selection without intention.

What remains is what can carry structure forward under constraint. This is how the universe builds complexity—quietly, patiently, and without ever resetting.

This short is part of the Foundations of Persistence series, exploring how survival, structure, and history emerge naturally in physical systems.
ABOUT THIS CHANNEL
This channel explores how structure, information, and persistence shape the universe — from cosmology and physics to complexity, emergence, and scientific testing.
The content is part of the Carroll Wells Gradient (CWG) project, a layered framework for understanding how patterns survive, evolve, and get filtered by reality.
