- <p>This manuscript proposes a solution to Hume’s is–ought problem by reframing it as a question about persistence. Instead of starting from moral intuitions or specific physical theories, it assumes only five ontological conditions: there are systems with internal representations, they receive feedback from an environment, they must remain within a viability set, they operate under finite resources, and their environment is non-stationary and partially beyond their control.</p> <p>From these assumptions, the paper derives a dual-operator dynamics: an <strong>Update</strong> role that revises internal representations in response to discrepancies, and an <strong>Optimize</strong> role that selects trajectories expected to minimise future discrepancy under resource constraints. At the field level, this recursion forces a structural correction term on top of any empirical Lagrangian, yielding a budget-indexed p(Γ)-Laplacian law of the form ℰ[u] + λ ∇·(|∇u|^{p(Γ)−2}∇u) = 0, where p(Γ) encodes a global finite budget. The accompanying addendum sketches toy 1D–3D “universes” to illustrate how varying the budget parameter drives behaviour from diffusion to filamentation and collapse. A technical note explores if the correction role is structural and substrate-translatable, then, as a conjecture, inputs a term into the Wheeler-DeWitt equation.</p> <p>The text was originally drafted as a stand-alone chapter in a larger philosophical project and is presented here as a conceptual, domain-agnostic framework for system stability, rather than a completed empirical theory. It is intended primarily as a stake in the ground: a compact ontology of general persistence that can be tested, refined, or rejected by future work in philosophy, physics, and complexity science.</p>
