The Theory

Hypothesis of Representational Singularity

For distinct individuals (i) and (j), the following is proposed:

Rᵢ(t) ≢ Rⱼ(t)

Where:

Rᵢ(t) = representation produced by individual i at time t

Rⱼ(t) = representation produced by individual j at time t

≢ = absence of absolute identity

The hypothesis states that representations produced by distinct individuals are necessarily singular.

The proposition will not be considered demonstrated at this point.

Its support must emerge progressively from the demonstrations concerning:

individual trajectory;

statistical configuration;

circumstance;

state;

perception;

interpretation;

representation;

encoding;

message;

and reconstruction.

At the end, it will be necessary to verify whether the adopted premises and evidence actually support:

Rᵢ(t) ≢ Rⱼ(t)

If they do not, the hypothesis must be modified or rejected.
