Ahhh good stuff. Thanks to George Siemens who referenced this blog on his. If we are distributing self, and the components of our self are locally similar to components of other selves, can we, or someone else, aggregate new selves from the parts?

Journal of Constructivist Psychology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 1999, pages 153-172.

Article explains that heterogeneous distribution can be applied to the self.
The self is heterogeneously distributed because a <STRONG>coherent self emerges from the interconnection of structures of diverse sorts, which together facilitate the experience and manifestation of a coherent identity</STRONG>.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tihane.wordpress.com/2007/11/05/distributed-self/"><P>Keeping distributed self keeps us i<STRONG>n touch with different communities.</STRONG></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ED83A45F-C191-4C89-8A97-3C4AC74EFF1E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
