Okay, that makes sense now.

Though I do disagree that humans are multifaceted beings. Well, not with the statement itself, because humans are obviously multifaceted, but with the idea of us being composite beings. I don't think our title really makes us a different being, I think we're just the same person with different "jobs".Being a police officer, for example, doesn't give you another "person" to be and identity designated as "police officer", it's just a job that the same person has, just one of many roles that person probably has. But I do agree that there are many factors and ideas making us the overall person that we are, so I guess I kinda agree, kinda disagree.

I can't really prove anything though. Science understands "identity" as well as chimpanzees understand thermodynamics, so I can't really pull out any satisfactory sources or anything.

Aside from that, though, my question more revolved around his being. What exactly is Lawrence at this point? Is there an original, "prime" Lawrence that acts as the source of the myriad abilities and immense power that he's come to embody, or is he a disembodied and incorporeal super-intelligence (kind of like an A.I.) that is essentially omnipresent within his domain and manifest through numerous avatars?

Which actually brings me to another question: is privacy really a big thing in Selforge City? With all citizens empathically connected and all, is there really a sense of privacy anymore? Can citizens be left alone to their own devices if they're the more solitary and introverted type? Is such a thing even necessary in Selforge City anymore?
