lesspersistent

Lesspersistent is a term used to describe a state or characteristic of being not entirely permanent or easily erased. It suggests a transience or a tendency to fade or disappear over time or with minimal effort. This concept can be applied to various contexts, including data, memories, or physical objects.

In computing, lesspersistent data might refer to information stored in volatile memory, such as RAM, which is lost when the power is turned off. This contrasts with persistent storage, like hard drives, where data remains intact even after the system is shut down. The term can also describe temporary files or cached information that is automatically deleted by the operating system or specific applications after a certain period or when certain conditions are met.

Figuratively, lesspersistent can describe memories that are not deeply ingrained or are easily forgotten. It might also refer to the fleeting nature of certain experiences or emotions that do not leave a lasting impact. In a more abstract sense, something lesspersistent lacks a strong or enduring presence, making it susceptible to change or dissolution. The opposite of lesspersistent would be something permanent, indelible, or enduring.
