Context (important for understanding)

Common discourse treats memory, narrative, and identity as factual continuities. This writing does not fully accept that assumption. It recognizes thought, memory, and identity as cognitive processes rather than facts, and maintains a distinction between verifiable reality, perception, and thinking—even if that distinction is not always sustained.

Put simply

The mind writing here is aware that thoughts about identity and history are constructions, not facts. This awareness is incomplete and unstable, but present. The writing reflects that partial clarity rather than any claimed state of no thought or psychological time.

Who (or rather, what) is writing these posts?

Posts do not assume a fixed authorial persona. Some are written without a character. Others use a functional voice (e.g., thinker, feeler, planner, narrator) only to represent a specific cognitive process. A post may be signed by such a voice or by a temporary persona indicating a speaking mode—a particular configuration of thoughts and assumptions at the time of writing. These voices are tools, not identities, and may change or disappear between posts.

Mode of writing

The writing distinguishes factual claims from memory-based constructs such as identity, narrative, and the “thinker.” Voices and interpretations are treated as cognitive models—useful for examination, not as representations of a real or continuous self. Posts are written with awareness of this distinction and avoid treating explanatory frameworks as reality itself.

Note on chronology

Earlier posts were written during a period of regular weekly writing. At that time, the mind writing here was not aware of the distinctions outlined above. The weekly stream of posts ended in June 2025, with a single post published in September. During this interval, certain realizations occurred regarding the illusory nature of some cognitive processes. Subsequent writing may reflect this shift.

Note on language

Some posts may be written in different languages. Language choice reflects the cognitive mode active at the time of writing and is not tied to a fixed audience or identity.
