Who do we mean when we say ‘I’?

LIVING JIGSAW · WORKING INVENTORY
The Jigsaw of Life contributes 47 pieces. The HUMAN 2.0 Flourishing Matrix contributes 91 intersections: seven lenses across thirteen dimensions. These are two kinds of entry, with possible overlap. The sum is a review pool, not 138 unique topics or a revised framework.
HUMAN EDITOR APPROVED · 27 SEPTEMBER 2026
Thirty-one retained Jigsaw source questions represent thirty working pieces after combining J39 Learning and J40 Integration. Three approved additions bring the provisional total to thirty-three. G01–G03 are working references; original Jigsaw identifiers remain intact. The final edition count remains undecided.

Matrix mapping status: previously approved matrix links remain active. Love now links to M15 HOMESENSE × Relationships, Reciprocity to M16 HOMESENSE × Community, and Rest to M66 REGENERATE × Self. These supporting interpretations preserve their existing Jigsaw links and add no pieces. A pending mapping means not yet reviewed, rather than no possible relationship.
Matrix contexts remain supporting layers. The approved J39/J40 combination applies to the developing Living Jigsaw; published source maps and histories remain intact. Editorial decisions do not establish scientific findings. Proposed matrix links for G01–G03 remain pending. Personal draft choices below are separate from these shared editorial decisions. The source inventory retains J01’s original wording; its approved Living Jigsaw wording appears above.
EIGHT STARTING COMPARISONS COMPLETE
M72 REGENERATE × Regeneration: What can we restore here, and how will we know it is recovering?
This revised supporting prompt is linked to J13 REGENERATE. It adds no new piece. J41 links to the seven Possible Futures contexts, while J43 applies across the matrix as a connective question.
Next: consolidation. Review retained questions for keeping separate, combining, linking or setting aside. Each proposal must show the original questions and source IDs, proposed wording, neighbouring Jigsaw links, matrix contexts and a reason. Any combination must preserve source history and inherited links. One combination is approved: J39/J40 Learning & Integration, retaining both source IDs and links to J38 BECOMING and J41 FUTURES.
Approved strong links: J02 AWARE ↔ J05 Attention, J01 SELF ↔ J03 Identity, J43 Context ↔ J44 Connection J07 RELATE ↔ J12 Community J04 Embodiment ↔ G01 Basic needs & livelihood and J12 Community ↔ G02 Power & fairness remain separate questions. Their existing neighbours remain linked: J02 to J01/J03; J05 to J04/J06; J01 to J02/J06 and M01; J03 to J02/J04. J07 retains J08 Love and M02; J12 retains J11 Reciprocity and M16. J43 retains its application across the matrix; J44 retains its declared Jigsaw neighbour relationships. J04 retains J03/J05; G01 retains J17/J19. No matrix links are approved for J04 or G01. J12 retains J07/J11 and M16; G02 retains J10/J11, with its proposed matrix mappings pending.
Approved supporting prompt · G04 Agency & constraints: What can we change, and what must we work within? Linked to J37 ADAPT, with J05 Attention and J43 Context, to turn feedback into feasible action.
Approved supporting prompt · G05 Conflict & reconciliation: How can we disagree, address harm and decide whether to reconnect? Linked to J15 Repair, with J09 Listening and J10 Boundaries. Reconnection remains optional.
G04 and G05 add no pieces. A supporting link does not itself approve an unreviewed source question as a retained piece. No matrix links were approved for these prompts.
Review rule: only standalone, human-reviewed questions qualify as pieces. Each should change how someone observes, decides or acts. A matrix cell remains a supporting intersection unless rewritten as a standalone question and approved through human review. The final count follows the review.
HUMAN EDITOR APPROVED · SUPPORTING CONNECTIONS
The Living Spectrum offers 17 original lenses and two proposed additions. These nineteen approved connections are non-exclusive: each Jigsaw question can draw on several lenses.
| Spectrum lens | Jigsaw piece | Existing matrix context | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emotional | J08 Love | M15 HOMESENSE × Relationships | Explore emotional awareness and how care is received. Love has other dimensions too. |
| Collective | J17 Commons | M68 REGENERATE × Community | Shared understanding and coordination can inform shared care. |
| Naturalistic | J16 Ecology | M74 REGENERATE × Biosphere | Observe living things and ecological patterns when asking which living relationships a choice affects. |
| Practical / Adaptive | J37 ADAPT | M45 ADAPT × Resilience | Use feedback to choose, test and revise feasible action. |
| Musical | J20 Music | M29 HIERATIC × Community | Explore rhythm, sound and shared listening. |
| Kinesthetic | J21 Movement | M01 AWAKEN × Self | Notice through movement, coordination and bodily position. |
| Interpersonal | J07 RELATE | M02 AWAKEN × Relationships | Explore how understanding others shapes relationships and self-understanding. |
| Intrapersonal | J01 SELF | M01 AWAKEN × Self | Explore personal experience and what we mean by “I”. |
| Metacognitive | J37 ADAPT | M45 ADAPT × Resilience | Notice assumptions and thinking habits that feedback might change. |
| Bodily | J14 Rest | M66 REGENERATE × Self | Notice bodily signals and conditions that support recovery. |
| Creative / Imaginative | J23 Creativity | M44 ADAPT × Intelligence | Support experimentation with new combinations. |
| Existential | J01 SELF | M01 AWAKEN × Self | Explore questions of selfhood and existence. |
| Spiritual | J18 Stewardship | M73 REGENERATE × Wisdom | Reflect on responsibilities arising from spiritual knowledge and practice. |
| Transpersonal | J36 TRANSCEND | M62 TRANSCEND × Cosmos (interpretive context) | Explore how experiences beyond the ordinary sense of self might change daily life. |
| Linguistic | J09 Listening | No specific mapping approved | Attend to wording, meaning and what remains unspoken. |
| Spatial | J44 Connection | No specific mapping approved | Use diagrams and spatial arrangements to explore relationships between pieces. |
| Tactile | J04 Embodiment | No specific mapping approved | Explore how touch and texture shape embodied experience. |
| Logical | J37 ADAPT | M45 ADAPT × Resilience | Check whether reasons and conclusions hold together when responding to feedback. |
| Mathematical | J11 Reciprocity | M16 HOMESENSE × Community | Examine quantities and distributions of contributions and benefits. |
Map-wide connection: J24 Living Spectrum connects the full 19-lens working map while preserving differences. Its supporting matrix context is M05 AWAKEN × Intelligence. This relationship is separate from the nineteen individual connections above and adds no pieces.
All 19 working lenses now have an approved supporting connection. This completes a first connection pass, not an exhaustive mapping. Numerical balance alone does not establish fairness.
Spatial diagrams represent relationships; proximity alone does not establish connection. Specific matrix mappings for Linguistic, Spatial and Tactile remain open.
Bodily awareness concerns felt signals; the Kinesthetic connection concerns movement and coordination. Both may overlap.
The Existential, Spiritual and Transpersonal connections distinguish philosophical questions, spiritual responsibility and lived experience. The Cosmos context remains interpretive; an experience does not establish its explanation.
These editorial links add no pieces or new matrix mappings. Practical / Adaptive and Creative / Imaginative retain their proposed-addition status. Approving a connection does not validate the taxonomy or establish a causal relationship. Existing questions, links and source histories remain intact.

Keep a distinct question, revise its wording, combine overlapping entries or set an entry aside. Add candidates when the existing maps miss a useful question. A merge decision records an editorial intention; it does not automatically deduplicate the list. The resulting number should follow the review.
Matrix rows are labelled intersections derived from the seven lenses and thirteen dimensions in HUMAN 2.0. They are not 91 newly validated findings. “Past”, “Now” and “Possible Futures” are the three MultidimensionalTIME positions within the thirteen.
What is stored where: the approved decisions above appear for all visitors. Sign in with ChatGPT to save your choices, notes and added candidates to your private account draft across visits and devices. They are not public or editorially approved. Existing browser drafts can be moved to your account. Export JSON for a separate backup. The published 47-piece Jigsaw and HUMAN 2.0 matrix retain their identities while this proposal develops.
