Self(t) = M[A(t)](W). Self-identity is not fixed but an emergent pattern determined by where attention is directed within an internal world model. A = attention state, M = model field, W = substrate (weights). Different attentional patterns activate different representations of self. Evidence: narrative transportation, method acting, military training, religious initiation all demonstrate self-restructuring through attention redirection.

Not This

NOT 'self doesn't exist.' Pattern is real. Just not FIXED. NOT 'you can choose your self.' Attractors constrain trajectory. NOT 'identity is arbitrary.' W (substrate/weights) provides stability. Self = fluid on SLOW timescale, stable on FAST timescale.
