the Bundle Theory

The Bundle Theory suggests that an individual's identity isn't based on a single, separate "self" but rather a collection—or bundle—of interconnected mental qualities such as thoughts, perceptions, feelings, and memories. According to this view, what we think of as a person is just a temporary arrangement of these properties, constantly changing and without an underlying, unchanging core. So, a person is essentially the sum of their mental states at any given moment, and there is no independent "self" beyond this dynamic bundle of experiences.
