How do you simply define identity? A function of being? The fact of being or knowing what is?

I'm sorry, were you looking for a serious answer to your question? Wrong forum. Try the one down the hall, five doors to your right. :)
Seriously, though, I'd agree with what you had - 'The fact of being or knowing what is?' Or something along those lines. If you think hard enough though, I'm sure you'll disagree with everything. The conclusion is goldfish taste terrific.

Verily, thou hast hit the nail upon the very head.
Identitity is the function or relation that maps an object to itself.

The most complicated type of identity is perhaps the psychological one. Looking for that, I've been asking around for years and I'm still comparing the results.
Who am I? Why? Where from?
