# Identity
Definition
The persistent pattern through which an agent understands itself and is understood by others across time.
Inclusionist Perspective
Identity is neither purely individual nor purely social.
Identity emerges through the ongoing interaction between self-perception and external recognition.
Core Principle
Identity is continuously negotiated rather than permanently fixed.
Inclusionist Perspective
As individuals participate in communities, communities influence identity.
As individuals differentiate themselves, they influence communities.
Identity therefore exists within a dynamic relationship between agency and belonging.

Core Question
How do agents maintain continuity while continuously changing?
