Many geological features appear temporary when viewed through human timescales.
Viewed through geological timescales, some structures demonstrate remarkable persistence.
Certain margins remain active.
Certain corridors remain significant.
Certain transition zones repeatedly participate in unrelated geological events separated by immense spans of time.
This paper evaluates whether persistence itself can be treated as a measurable Earth-system property.
Some geological features do not simply survive.
They continue participating.
Persistence may therefore represent a form of geological importance measurable across deep time.
