persistence

Therefore we have a persistence of vision even though there is no light to see at that point in time.

It's because of persistence of vision, which means the eye averages what it sees over a short period of time.

It was about patience and persistence.

No, this is so much more than that -- this is what taught me persistence.

Unlike algorithms, living systems are deeply embedded in flows of energy and matter, and they continually regenerate their own conditions for existence and for persistence over time.
