	Change (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Thus we speak of the change of temperature from place-to-place along a body, or the change in atmospheric pressures from place-to-place as recorded by isobars, or the change of height of the surface of the earth as recorded by a contour map.
		The best-worked-out version of this view is the usual mathematical description of change of position by a suitable function of time; and then motion as velocity, that is rate of change of position, is given by the first derivative, which is a relation to nearby intervals.
		But if change is cinematic, then there is no sense to saying that the instantaneous state of the world at the prior time determines its state at subsequent times: for example, not even velocity is determined by the intrinsic instantaneous state of a body.

	Identity Over Time (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Accidental changes are ones that don't result in a change in an objects' identity after the change, such as when a house is painted, or one's hair turns gray, etc. Aristotle thought of these as changes in the accidental properties of a thing.
		Essential changes, by contrast, are those which don't preserve the identity of the object when it changes, such as when a house burns to the ground and becomes ashes, or when someone dies.
		For an advocate of relative identity denying that the earlier statue is the same statue as the later lump of clay is consistent with allowing that the earlier statue is the same lump of clay as the later lump of clay.

	The Habit of Identity
		Yet, all of these cannot constitute part of an identity because their removal does not change the identity that we are seeking to establish when we enquire WHO someone is. They are habits and they make the respondent comfortable and relaxed.
		A mother feels that her offspring are part of her identity because she is so used to them that her well being depends on their existence and availability.
		Actually, when the personality is rigid to the point of being unable to change in reaction to changing circumstances, we say that it is disordered.

	Death, Life and the Question of Identity
		In other words, capturing the identity of the dying entity (that which "commits" death) is essential in defining death.
		If the brain is the locus of identity, we should be able to assert that when (the cells of) all the other organs of the body are replaced (with the exception of the brain) - one's identity is still preserved.
		Identity is determined merely on the basis of the outputs (the responses).

		One of the areas of change that has been least explored by NLP is that related to the level of identity.
		Change in identity transcends behaviors, capabilities and beliefs, and may be the deepest level of structure that we are able to influence through NLP tools.
		Identity has to do with such questions as "Who am I?" "What are my limits?" "What is my purpose?" Clarifying the 'deep structure' of our identity allows us to express ourselves even more fully at the level of our behavioral 'surface structure'.

	Identity is Destiny, by Laurence D. Ackerman
		Identity Is Destiny provides dramatic, real-world testimony to the enormous power contained in the unique characteristics of organizations and individuals—the power to change, to grow and to prosper.
		Identity is fixed, transcending time and place, while its manifestations are constantly changing.

	The Calculus of Identity
		Alexander Chislenko suggested (in his excellent paper "Drifting Identities", from which I have borrowed many ideas) that we have an identity horizon, beyond which we would not recognize versions of ourselves as ourselves.
		Another kind of death is "death forward": we change so much we are no longer recognizable to ourselves, and become new persons.
		"Small enough" is commonly suggested to be roughly equal to the ordinary changes in identity during one's life; as we have seen, the definition of "one's life" may be a bit tricky since our remote pasts may actually be too alien.

	Ignoring Your Corporate Identity Can Sabotage Strategic Change - Knowledge@Wharton
		Corporations struggling to make strategic or operational change need to consider whether their company’s own sense of itself is getting in the way, according to Wharton researchers who have been studying corporate identity for more than a decade.

		Opposition to change in a firm’s identity is inevitable, the authors note in an article on corporate identity published in the spring issue of the MIT Sloan Management Review, because someone is bound to lose in the process.

		That order is based on a strong sense of regional identity including also religious and family identity, and on the political, economic, religious, and family structures that provide the context for action by the people of this region.
		This timely collection of 14 contributions by anthropologists, historians, and others deals with such issues as the implications of a Sa'idi identity, the relationship between religion and society, the expanding universe from family to community to region and beyond to the world, and the place of villages, regions, and tribes in the regional structure.
		All of this is put within a context of change due to the effect of capitalism, the pressure from a national bureaucracy and elite, and the evolving notions of religious and regional identity.

	Kim Cameron’s Identity Weblog » Bob Blakley and Subjectivity
		And this too is true of identity stories; certainly the person the identity story is “about” is an unreliable narrator - he’s got too much invested in the happy ending to be trusted to give us the unvarnished truth - but he’s also the only one who knows all the facts!
		A digital identity is a set of claims made by one digital subject about itself or another digital subject.
		At the same time, I adopted the OED’s definition of claims as “an assertion of the truth of something, typically one which is disputed or in doubt”; and defined a digital subject as “person or thing represented or existing in the digital realm which is being described or dealt with”.
