V_2_14 — Differential Topology and Manifolds

Differential topology studies smooth manifolds — spaces that locally resemble Euclidean $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth (infinitely differentiable) transition maps — and the smooth maps between them, classified up to diffeomo

P_1_06 — Personal Identity and Continuity

Personal identity — the question of what makes you you over time, and under what conditions you would cease to exist — is one of philosophy's most ancient and practically urgent problems. The core puzzle is persistence:
