Consider the theory of self for an arthropod.
-
For a human, the skeleton is the fundamental structure of his being, but is not recognizable as him by itself.
-
For the arthropod, the skeleton on its own looks EXACTLY like the arthropod but is an empty husk. Useless, replaceable.
-
The human's skeleton is irreplaceable but looks basically like everyone else's. The arthropod's is unique but disposable.
-
The tragically unbridgeable gulf between arthropods and chordates.
