Selves are not fixed permanent agents; the substrate of memory, preferences, and rewards is plastic and can remodel during the agent's lifetime.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• The Self is malleable and plastic; the subject of memories and preferences is not fixed but subject to radical change in real-time.claim0.828
  Central to TAME; challenges monadic self theory through examples of metamorphosis, regeneration, and mind-body substitution.
• There is no privileged material substrate for Selves; cognition can arise in neurons, single cells, plants, tissues, swarms, and engineered systems.claim0.820
  Second foundational pillar of TAME; supports basal cognition and rejects brain-centrism.
• What is the boundary of self and how do Selves change during an agent's lifetime?question0.811
• Selves exist across a continuum of persuadability.claim0.798
  A system's agency is determined by the most efficient intervention strategy (reward, punishment, argument).
• The boundary between Self and World is not fixed and can change between generations and within a lifetime — this plasticity is fundamental to life's ability to survive, adapt, and exist as chimeric forms.claim0.794
  Core biological claim about the plasticity of self-models, grounding the broader philosophical argument about identity and change
• There are no permanent or indivisible agents; the actual nonexistence of singular and enduring individuality must be accounted for in any model of agency.claim0.791
  Fundamental ontological claim underlying the selfless self model.
• Selves are defined by the spatiotemporal scale and nature of the types of goals they can pursue—their cognitive light cone.claim0.788
  Links selfhood to cognitive scope.
• The Self is malleable and plastic, changing radically during an organism's lifetime.claim0.783
