II.   Mind (PSY)

Identity, also known as “sameness” is a fictional term used to define similarity or difference between objects, concepts and members of a species through the assignment of a number of fictional attributes.

The word Identity comes from the Latin word identidem meaning “repeatedly, again and again”, itself derived from the Latin root idem / ides meaning “same, middle”.

In accordance with Natural Law, an object may only be Identical with itself. Therefore, all objects and concepts are similar yet different from one another to some degree.

The assignment of any kind of identity depends first upon the creation of one (1) or more fictional attributes in accordance with some methodology and model for creating and assigning the set of attributes.

As an attribute of any methodology and system of Identification is a fictional representation of an actual characteristic, it may or may not represent the actual characteristic to some greater or lesser degree.

It is both a logical fallacy and an absurdity to conclude that a fictional attribute of any fictional system of Identification is the same as the actual characteristic it purports to represent.

As the Mind operates by projecting externally and internally fictional approximations of the real world, to function the Mind requires some methodology and system of Identification itself.

As the Mind requires some methodology and system of Identification itself, the pre-existence of a functional model of Identification is a powerful tool in shaping the perceived reality of the world for one (1) or many Minds.

The usefulness and credibility of a methodology and system of Identification depends not only by custom, use, force and fear but by its usefulness in solving the Identification challenges of the many Minds that may use it.

The power of a well formed Identification system is that the Mind naturally assumes and treats the various attributes as if they were real characteristics of the object or concept and will even modify new information and perception in order to fit the criteria of the Identification system.

Well formed Identification systems are self referencing and fulfilling, due to the natural dependencies and behaviour of the Mind.
