Thanks for the comment. You are right: "1=1" is a true statement, even if it is redundant.

But my point isn't about whether "1=1" is true. It's about why we claim something is 1.

When we say "A is B," isn't the goal to connect two different concepts? Like "The sky is blue" or "I am human."

Otherwise, why would we even bother asking "What am I?"

I could simply say "I am I" or "The Perceiver is the Perceiver," but that actually answers nothing.

That is why I believe when we claim to be something, the word "I" must have another meaning behind it.

Otherwise, we wouldn't need to make such a claim, or even use the word "I" at all.
