| contents | <p>Debates about identity typically oscillate between essentialist, psychological, and social-constructionist accounts. These approaches disagree over content while often overlooking the structural conditions that make identity formation necessary in the first place. This paper offers a limited, descriptive framework that treats identity not as essence or illusion, but as a grammar arising under constraint. Beginning from finitude, the account distinguishes three layers—structural identity, existential constraints, and surface narrative identity—each marking a forcing transition in explanatory regime. The framework does not generate, rank, or evaluate identity contents. Instead, it specifies what identity cannot do, what it must do under given conditions, and how it transforms when those conditions change. The aim is not prediction or prescription, but intelligibility.</p> |
