Origins

The Origin of Persistence Science

Persistence Science emerged from a fundamental question:

Why do some systems persist while others collapse?

The search for a universal persistence condition led to the formulation of the Odero Axiom, the Laws of Persistence Science, the Measurement Architecture, and a broader framework for understanding persistence across physical, technological, economic, institutional, and cosmological systems.

From this question emerged the Odero Axiom, the foundational principle of Persistence Science.

Founder, Persistence Science

John Otieno Odero is the founder of Persistence Science and author of the Odero Axiom.

His work established the foundational principles, measurement architecture, and theoretical framework that form the basis of Persistence Science.

Vision

Long-Term Vision

The long-term objective of Persistence Science is to establish a common scientific language for understanding persistence across complex systems.

The framework seeks to unify information, control, energy, and decay within a single explanatory architecture spanning physical, biological, technological, economic, institutional, and cosmological domains.
