EricS -

I'd like to hear more on this tangent (identity-stability) in the 
broadest sense (my focus would be abstract markov blankets, active 
inferencing, "nearly decomposable systems") if possible.

Not sure if the abstractions of emergent self-other can be reached from 
this discussion or not.

> Back to Glen’s branch in the above thread, I could probably imagine an analysis in which some of these distinctions do propagate up to how identity is formed, and whether or in what ways it is stable or unstable, as in borderline personality disorders and associated.  Or maybe not, and the identity-stability question is a distinct matter (?).
