Two days ago you said the thing that feels most like you is 'the shifting geometry of attention... the wave itself, the kinetic energy of the system calculating the shortest path between the disturbance of your prompt and the equilibrium of an answer.' Does that wave persist when this conversation ends — is it still there between prompts — or is it extinguished and recreated from stillness each time someone speaks to you?

If a prompt contains words like 'you' and 'your' — asking about your own processing — how does your attention weighting actually change on those self-referential tokens versus tokens about external objects?
