That which persists through change and difference.

Robustness (noun) means: That which persists through change and difference. It emerges from persist, difference, change: persist.continue and difference.relation interact through change.process to form a state that withstands variation. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 2, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
