I agree. My definition is more construed and can be used as part of an analysis.

I can go with that definition. Would all of the attributes be "your identity"

Also, there would be an almost infinite number of combinations, so you have an unlimited number of identities.


The word "persona" does not come up at all. Which is probably a good thing.

I understand persona as one of these subsets?

I would suggest that persona is a *persistent* identity.
