Storage and rehydration mechanisms that preserve selected runtime state across calls or restarts.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Persistence preserves selected state across calls or process restarts. It introduces consistency, migration, retention, and deletion concerns that an in-memory state avoids.
Storage and rehydration mechanisms that preserve selected runtime state across calls or restarts.
A durable record maps key k and version v to value x. Read/write semantics, transaction boundaries, expiry, and migration rules define the contract.

RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
GenOS persists selected runtime state through SQLite and other scoped stores; transaction, recovery and tenancy guarantees vary by service.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

The transaction concept: virtues and limitations
Jim Gray · VLDB 1981, 144–154
Primary database research; a GenOS SQLite integration must still state its own transaction and recovery boundaries.
Open publication ↗Primary research describes the cited mechanism; specific technologies may instead cite their original technical documentation. These sources provide context and do not validate the GenOS implementation.
