Information Persistence Across Geological Scales

Paper 452 of 511
Published June 1, 2026

Abstract

Geological information is preserved unevenly across Earth systems.

Some signals disappear rapidly while others remain detectable for hundreds of millions or billions of years.

This paper evaluates persistence across multiple geological scales.

Scale Hierarchy

Persistence Principle

Information survival appears closely linked to the stability of the systems in which it is stored.
