On Selfhood and the Limits of Identity

A Structural Correction

By Sura’el A’Tariq

First Digital Edition · Visual Ebook v1.0 · 2026

A structural correction separating the person from the identifiers, profiles, roles, and metrics used to point toward them.

For readers examining identity, recognition, dignity, digital profiles, and continuity; it does not require belief in an immaterial soul or claim to settle postmortem persistence.
