Abstract: Given a compact geodesic space X we apply the fundamental group and alternatively the first homology group functor to the corresponding Rips or v{C}ech filtration of X to obtain what we call a persistence. This paper contains the theory describing such persistence: properties of the set of critical points, their precise relationship to the size of holes, the structure of persistence and the relationship between open and close, Rips and v{C}ech induced persistences. Amongst other results we prove that a Rips critical point c corresponds to an isometrically embedded circle of length 3c, that a homology persistence of a locally contractible space with coefficients in a field encodes the lengths of the lexicographically smallest base and that Rips and v{C}ech induced persistences are isomorphic up to a factor 3/4. The theory describes geometric properties of the underlying space encoded and extractable from persistence.
