A mathematical model of the self.
I attempt here briefly to sketch a mathematical structure with properties analogous to key features of the self. This structure, while not easy to envision, is nonetheless as plausible a basis for theory as any science requires. I hope in this way to account for some aspects of the self that have long impeded systematic thinking on the subject.
