This analysis demonstrates structural persistence limits in diverse systems, suggesting common underlying principles across domains.
La Profilée (LP) establishes that any system undergoing real transformation persists if and only if transformation pressure does not exceed integration capacity: IR = R/(F·M·K) <= 1 (Paper 103). That result is formal. This paper addresses a separate question: whether this structurally derived condition is instantiated across real systems. Across thermodynamics, biological systems, engineered structures, information systems, and socio-technical organisations, a consistent pattern is observed: systems maintain identity only within capacity limits and undergo structural breakdown when these limits are exceeded. No examined domain exhibits sustained persistence under conditions analytically identified as IR > 1. The result is not a statistical claim but a structural regularity: across independent domains, persistence is consistently observed within capacity bounds and breakdown is consistently preceded by their violation. LP is therefore not only structurally unavoidable in formal analysis, but empirically recurrent across domains where persistence has been examined.
