EPF treats persistence as an applied fight against entropy. It layers concerns from L0 (energy, hardware, reliability) up to L5 (governance, merge/split, evolution), with measurable metrics per layer and safety rails for self-modification. Bitcoin is used as a persistence analogy for open, energy‑backed consensus and proposal‑driven evolution.
