claim

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.
supports
Core biological claim about the plasticity of self-models, grounding the broader philosophical argument about identity and change
