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.
