Existence is the ability of a system to keep [[Memory]] of the [[Information]] it is comprised of.
This process is a function of [[Energy]] management. If a system runs out of available energy it can no longer maintain its relations and vanishes from the relational web.
From this follows the [[Inherent Principles of Continued Existence|Inherent Principle]]: Existence is an active process of [[Translation]].

## RRT Formalization
**Logic:** [[Existence]] is the active maintenance of the Landauer Floor: $\Phi_{\epsilon} \geq \Phi_{\min}$.
**Constraint:** If a [[System]] cannot pay $\Phi_{\min}$, its [[Relating|Relations]] dissolve.

## In the Equation
**"The Maintenance"** ($\Phi_{\epsilon} \geq \Phi_{\min}$)
[[Existence]] is the active process of maintaining power above the [[Energy Floor]]. If the bit-rate ($\sigma / \tau$), [[Relational Distance|distance]] ($d$), or noise ($T$) exceeds the budget, the inequality fails and [[Relating|Relations]] dissolve.
