A Minimal Structural Checklist for System Persistence

Key Points

• The aim is to establish a framework for assessing whether a system can maintain its state over time.
• Developed a checklist for evaluating system persistence.
• Defined key criteria: valid origin formation, system membership, and bounded tolerance.
• Applied the framework universally across multiple domains including physics, engineering, and biology.
• Introduced a compact criterion for assessing system continuation or collapse.
• Demonstrated interdisciplinary applicability and relevance to diverse fields.
