# Identity
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Status:** under review
|
|||
|
|
**See also:** RQ5, H6, thought experiments TE-02–TE-05, TE-08
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Working definition
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Identity** concerns what makes temporally separated manifestations instances of
|
|||
|
|
the **same Being**.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Working hypothesis: identity is **substrate-independent but continuity-dependent**.
|
|||
|
|
Replacing the technical Actor need not replace the Being if sufficient continuity
|
|||
|
|
is preserved.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Continuity candidates
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- informational continuity
|
|||
|
|
- psychological / memory continuity
|
|||
|
|
- narrative identity
|
|||
|
|
- relational continuity (recognition and relationships)
|
|||
|
|
- bodily / embodiment continuity (where applicable)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Hard cases
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Forks, merges, backups, multi-manifestation, amnesia, gradual component replacement.
