Persistence publishes rigorous\, foundational\, and cross-disciplinary work in complexity science broadly construed: nonlinear dynamics and complex systems\; information theory and the geometry of information\; and computational or theoretical approaches to cognition\, consciousness\, and intelligence\, biological and artificial. We welcome contributions from physics\, biology\, neuroscience\, cognitive science\, computer science\, mathematics\, and philosophy &mdash\; and we especially value work that crosses disciplinary lines or interrogates foundations and methods.</p>\n<p>For this audience: we particularly welcome philosophical and foundational work &mdash\; philosophy of mind and cognitive science\, philosophy of physics and computation\, formal epistemology\, and conceptual or methodological critique &mdash\; within that interdisciplinary scope.</p>\n<p>Rigorous heterodox and independent research is read on equal terms with institutionally affiliated work.</p>\n<p>Review &mdash\; and why you can trust it. Every submission is evaluated through a structured multi-reviewer process\, with a human curator signing off on each decision and submissions blinded beforehand.
