Abstract

I harbor fundamental questions about myself and the world that surrounds me. If someone were to ask me to speak of 'myself,' how should I answer? Stripped of relationships, roles, gender, and accumulated memories—how can I explain who I am in this exact, fleeting moment? Do I exist wholly and fully? Even now, I am in a state of continuous transformation. My cells and molecules are perpetually dying and being reborn. Is the 'me' of one second ago the same as the 'me' of right now? What is the immutable element within me? What truly makes me who I am? It was from these foundational inquiries that my journey began. This collection is my answer to those questions. It is a question about myself and a question about the world; it is a manual for my own existence, a manual for yours, and an instruction manual for the world itself. This research was constructed through a dialectical process of posing fundamental questions to AI, retrieving its responses, and continuously interrogating those answers. The individual essays born from each of these dialogues are published and accessible on my official website: molamola.live.
