Systemic Persistence: Continuation as the Primary Invariant of Complex Systems
Abstract
A systems-level framework describing persistence as an emergent property of processes operating under constraint. The work reframes purpose, meaning, and stability as internal experiences of viable continuation, without teleology or moral assumptions. Applicable across biology, cognition, artificial systems, and social dynamics.
