IDENTITY VS. NON-IDENTITY (1/2)

• (def) identity: a property of something (i.e. of a general entity, be it of

substantial, informational, energy, or formal appearance) to overlap on itself, without rests, of any „generation” of the entity self-compared

• sufficiency conditions to be observed an identity or a non-identity

– a state vector: a clock time-indexed vector, which describes the definition parameters (of any kind) of the entity – a memory: a clock time-frozen state vector, i.e. a state vector that doesn’t change along the clock time – an overlapping procedure (or protocol): a procedure (available for the cognitive subject) to compare the state vector with the memory (i.e. the clock time-indexed state vector with the clock time-frozen state vector)

HOMOGENEITY VS. HETEROGENEITY (1/2)

• (def) homogeneity: the state of an entity which conserves its identity
• (def) heterogeneity: the state of an entity which doesn’t conserve its identity
• heterogeneization role: any change is the result of arising a heterogeneization

inside an identity

– NB: returning from non-identity to former identity implies also heterogeneization

• homogeneity has no degrees, while heterogeneity has
• a new homogeneity (i.e. a new identity) implies a heterogeneization phenomenon

– so, the identity dynamics simply is a chain of heterogeneization phenomena

• in fact, changing and its typopoly are given by the chain: identity –

homonegeity – heterogeneization – re-homogeneization – identity – homogeneity ...

TYPOLOGY OF IDENTITY (1/3)

• remember the sufficiency predicates of a generic system:

– a membrane (𝑵) (in my opinion, there are only three types of membranes: 1) physical membrane; 2) institutional membrane; 3) logical (i.e. cognitive) membrane

• for example: a human being has a physical membrane, an economic
• rganization has an institutional membrane, while a concept has a logical (i.e.

cognitive) membrane. Of course, an empiric system could be characterized, concomitantly, by more than one type of the mentioned membranes.)

• the membrane assures the discernibility between the system and its

environment – a set of components (𝑭) (no matter their nature.): these components must be indiscernible among them at least for one attribute (parameter, characteristic) – a set of connections among the components (𝑮): these connections generate the functionality of the system; – a set of connections among the components and the environment (𝑪): these connections generate the behaviour of the system

TYPOLOGY OF IDENTITY (2/3)

TYPOLOGY OF IDENTITY (3/3)

• based on the definition of a generic system, there are four tipes of identity:

– 𝜷 individual identity: conservation (conservation is logically equivalent with non- alteration) of the 𝑵 𝑵𝒖𝒔

𝒋 ⋈ 𝑵𝒖𝒇 𝒋

• the logical constant „⋈” means „identical”, i.e.

equivalent from the point of view of membranes overlapping, in this case – 𝜸 species identity: conservation of the 𝑪 𝑪𝒖𝒔

𝒋 ⋈ 𝑪𝒖𝒇 𝒋

– 𝜹 genus identity: conservation of the 𝑮 𝑮𝒖𝒔

𝒋 ⋈ 𝑮𝒖𝒇 𝒋

– 𝜺 formal identity: conservation of the 𝑭 𝑭𝒖𝒔

𝒋 ⋈ 𝑭𝒖𝒇 𝒋

NB: 𝒖𝒔 is the moment of reference (the time-benchmark), and 𝒖𝒇 is the moment of assessment regarding the identity state

• by logically combining the four „atomic” identities, we can obtain other 11

cases of „molecular” identities, so there are 15 total types of identities:

– 𝜷; 𝜸; 𝜹; 𝜺; 𝜷𝜸; 𝜷𝜹; 𝜷𝜺; 𝜸𝜹; 𝜸𝜺; 𝜹𝜺; 𝜷𝜸𝜹; 𝜷𝜸𝜺; 𝜷𝜹𝜺; 𝜸𝜹𝜺; 𝜷𝜸𝜹𝜺

CHANGING AS ALTERITY ALTERATION (1/2)

• understanding changing as identity alteration lead us to five distinct types of

generic changing:

– (C1) modification: alteration of the quantitative identity. The quantitative identity can be

• f two kinds:
• (C1a) movement: is the kind of modification that alters the spatial identity (for

example, the coordinates of the three dimensional space we currently experience in

• ur Universe)
• (C1b) growing: is the kind of modification that alters the size identity (it is very

important to mention that the movement type of modification can generate effects

• n the growing type by simply space agglomeration (accumulation). For example,

stars arising are, initially, an effect of pure movement and agglomeration of primordial matter. In the Figure 68 such a connection from movement to growing is included) – (C2) evolution: alteration of the qualitative identity (since the quality of a system is an effect of its structure, we can say also the evolution means the alteration of the structural identity. Because the causal relationship between the structure and the function, we can say also the evolution means the alteration of the system functioning. In order to assure a certain symmetry of the terminology, I preferred call this class of changing as alteration of the qualitative identity) – (C3) development: evolution generated by growing – (C4) transformation: evolution generated by purposes (goals) – (C5) progress: evolution generated by values
