Definition as a spectrum

Who is Rachel?

Lets consider 3 things even though there are many more things in the spectrum.
Rachel's memory, discipline, and body.

Say Rachel lost her memory, but she still has her behavior and her body. That person is Rachel
Rachel lost her body, her memory and discipline is stored as data and planted in a humanoid body. That cyborg is Rachel.
Rachel got pierced by a long nail/thorn from her chin to all the way to her brain, surprisingly she survived, but now her behavior completely changed... she still retain her memory and body. That person is Rachel.

Say Rachel lost her behavior and body, but her memory can be saved and transferred to her sister... Her sister is not Rachel, she just knew now what Rachel knew.
Rachel lost her memory and body, but her discipline is transferred to a robot. That robot is not Rachel, no matter what her stalker said when he bought it for 200 million dollars. (The discipline would be baseless anyway and would transform quickly to an extremely different form).
....
    ok
         ....

Now ofcourse there are many more things that's in the spectrum but that's the point I want to make

If it were personal riches then it's debatable, but throwing away our businesses away? Wouldn't that be absurd, cause businesses are helping people. Well still figuring out that now, but I realize that Jesus wasn't only talking about personal wealth. But also about the wealth of the community, a country. Jesus was talking about how we about to do about our money. We have to admit, we are now liable to hyperinflation. Because we have the right to spend all of our money in the bank as well as other people. And if we were forced to do that all at the same time, then the economy would collapse. But we have the rig

Multidiscipline Financial Statement

-
So using a little bit more complex program, we could have a financial statement that has the option to transform accordingly to the discipline the users are opting to view. People can choose whether to use IFRS, or other standards or even own company's standard. Ever since the market valuation of assets were introduced, the way financial statements help its users became more "quantum position" like. The Balance Sheet or Statement of Financial Position seem to have a really relative interpretation and In the past I wanted to value the assets based on the PV of the asset's projected cash flow at the risk free rate projected as a balance sheet. Therefore it would be great to have a financial statement that could accommodate multiple perspectives.
