Maibom, Marc: Emergence and Persistence - The Structural Conditions under which Emergence Leads to Persistence

Every theory of emergence describes systems that arise and persist. None has formally derived the structural conditions under which emergence leads to persistence rather than immediate dissolution. This paper establishes those conditions within the framework of La Profilée. We prove that any emergent system capable of persisting as a non-trivial identity under real transformation must satisfy three structural conditions: distinguishable states, real transformation, and non-trivially invariant id
