Identity
One-liner: The signature of a constraint regime that can persist through material turnover — not an immutable inner essence.
In Juarrero’s usage
Ship of Theseus: planks change; the pattern of constraints can continue. Identity tracks the probability landscape / adaptive topography of a type. Context-sensitive structure is constitutive of identity.
Not to confuse with
- Legal ID documents
- Eternal soul substance (not her claim)
Everyday example
A band keeps “being that band” through member changes if the musical/organizational regime persists — or loses identity if the regime dissolves.
