Research note in development
Five possible stages for identity and adaptation in reusable components
Software can remember where it came from, what happened recently, and what it learned without being treated as a person. This developing research note proposes five stages for that kind of component identity. Its scenarios are candidate acceptance criteria, not evidence that a system has passed them.

A working model of persistence, relationships, and change in software components
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.
Working paper — not peer reviewed
Comparing biological, psychological, and narrative continuity
Bodies change, memories fade, and personal stories are revised, yet people usually experience themselves as continuing through time. This paper compares biological, psychological, and narrative explanations of that continuity. It asks what each explanation treats as essential and what evidence could support or challenge it. The proposed tests form a personal research map instead of reporting completed validation.
Research note in development
A layered argument about persistence, experience, feedback, and computational models
People experience a continuing self even though bodies, memories, and circumstances change. This developing research note asks how identity, time, feedback, and consciousness might fit together across philosophy and computation. Definitions, counterarguments, experiments, and citations remain under review.
