• Memories formed during caterpillar life are retained through metamorphosis into butterfly despite complete brain and body remodeling (Blackiston, Shomrat & Levin 2015)finding0.889
  Key biological finding supporting the claim that identity can persist through radical physical transformation
• Training-induced memories persist across metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterflyfinding0.882
  Empirical example where memories remain despite drastic refactoring of brain tissue and body; demonstrates need for creative reinterpretation rather than passive storage.
• Learned behavior memories persist through brain metamorphosis in insects.finding0.863
  Caterpillars that learn a behavior retain it as adults despite brain being drastically remodelled, showing memory mapping across substrates.
• Insect larvae retain memories through complete brain remodeling during metamorphosis to adult form.finding0.863
  Shows that identity and cognitive continuity persist despite radical neural substrate change.
• Caterpillar memories survive metamorphosis into butterfly.finding0.848
  Empirical finding from Blackiston et al. 2008, demonstrating memory across radical body change.
• Caterpillar Metamorphosis and Memory Persistencefinding0.847
  Empirical demonstration that memories persist through massive brain and body remodeling during metamorphosis, challenging notions of stable Self-substrate binding.
• Caterpillar-to-butterfly memory remapping demonstrates that being does not bring specific memories but deep lessons redeployed in new embodimentfinding0.824
• Tail fragments of trained planarians retain original learned information, with memories reimprinted on newly-developing brains.finding0.816
  Empirical evidence that memories persist through regeneration; challenges substrate-dependence of identity.
