>>10943524Posting this here so I can get rid of it once and for all:
A being is a specific kind of four-dimensional entity. It is a kind of structural change, that works to preserve its own nature, that is, the nature of this structural change itself and not necessarily a given three-dimensional manifestation or common property of a sequence of such manifestations, except for the aforementioned purpose.
To illustrate this:
A specific combination of physical properties does not suffice to define a being, as these specific properties are subject to radical change over the course of time. An example would be the complete replacement of bodily cells. Furthermore, an inanimate object, such as a corpse, could fulfill an array of physical and/or biological criteria at a given moment as well, but since it lacks the ability to "be alive", it is not considered a being. This "ability" or rather property must therefore exist in the temporal if not in any of the spatial dimensions and if this property is what separates a being from an object, then it must be the essence of life, life itself, or rather the true essence of a being, the being itself. Any given three-dimensional manifestion is therefore merely an infinitely small building block of the true being, meaning that a being is not simply the sum of its particles, otherwise a being wouldn't be what it was a moment, an hour, or a year ago.
This entity then, when looked at considering the temporal dimension, can be ascribed a singular identity. It is no longer in change, because this change itself is what constitutes the being, and change itself is not subject to change, as the course of events can only happen as it actually happens and is the result of a specific set of conditions. And a clearly defined set of conditions, such as the values inserted into the variables of a formula, can only wield one possible result.
