permanences
Things that endure
Permanences is the plural of permanence, the quality or state of lasting indefinitely without change.
The word appears most often in philosophical or abstract contexts where multiple instances or types of enduring qualities are being distinguished: The text explores the permanences of memory versus the fleeting nature of sensation.
In everyday usage, permanence is more common since the concept is typically treated as a mass noun rather than something countable.
