The Same Part After the Ship Has Sailed: Identity in Composable Software
A working model of persistence, relationships, and change in software components
Introduction
A software component can change its state, surroundings, and collaborators while still being treated as the same component. This developing research note explores what that continuity could mean in a composable system. The model is an open question, not a claim about a completed implementation.
Research state
This is a research note in development. A complete manuscript is not yet public, and the summary must not be read as a finished paper or validated conclusion.
