As in, whilst A, B, C, and D are now instead E, F, G, and H: Z has remained consistent (and must continue to do so for you to be considered a "you" and not an "it", as 'Z' is your status as a person?)?
Close enough. Yes.
On second thought, I think I can use your example to clarify what I mean. I am 'Z'. 'Z' is made up of X+X+X+X+X. 'X' being a variable. Regardless of what state those variables might be in, 'Z' remains 'Z'. Is that what you mean? Z= my definition of 'identity'. Is that wrong?
If Z is made up of X+X+X+X, then it is a dependent variable (dependent upon what X is). I thought you were noting it to be an independent variable :S
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
