Instantaneous Vs Distributional Self
I'd like to make two distinctions. An Instantaneous You and a Distributional You.The Instantaneous You represents a singular point encapsulating all that is needed to render you for a frozen moment in time—like observing a single paused frame of a movie.This could be analogized to Neural Manifold representations, though rather than specific neurons in a very high-dimensional space, we'll imagine more abstract and general features.

I'd like to make two distinctions. An Instantaneous You and a Distributional You . The Instantaneous You represents a singular point encapsulating all that is needed to render you for a frozen moment in time—like observing a single paused frame of a movie. This could be analogized to Neural Manifold representations , though rather than specific neurons in a very high-dimensional space, we'll imagine more abstract and general features. It is a vector, a single point, describing a state of a system at any given moment, in this case the system of you. This is always on the move. If I recite in my
