Paper 378 of 383
Published June 1, 2026

Geological systems preserve information.

Scientific systems preserve interpretation.

Together they form a persistent knowledge system extending across generations.

The Permian-Triassic boundary demonstrates this relationship.

The rocks preserved evidence.

Successive generations preserved understanding.

Persistence Principle

Knowledge survives when evidence and interpretation survive together.
