Everything that persists is necessarily recursive. PERSISTENCE CONJECTURE advances a scale-free, domain-independent mathematical argument that persistence cannot be explained by duration, repetition, stasis, or sameness alone. Across twelve chapters and twelve mathematical plates, it investigates the conditions under which a structure can remain identifiable through transformation, and the recursive relations that such persistence requires.
The twelve mathematical plates accompany the book’s twelve-chapter argument. Select any plate to enlarge it in place; select it again to return to the thumbnail view.
