Universal Ruler: Scale-Invariant Geometric Persistence

From reversing the brachistochrone for maximum lasting, not fastest descent.

One minimal rule set. Multiple emergent realities:

Dark energy as irreversible geometric loss (geometrically derived ~68.9%) Dark matter as compact converted data Cosmic web resonance (observer-independent) Neural persistence (gamma bloom) AI efficiency (ratio-based pruning & revival, with emergent intelligence via tuned static noise) Not a theory of everything. A ruler for what persists long enough to matter.
