	At the point when a cladist forks into a new instance, the two instances are identical in terms of their history, though their memories from that point immediately begin to diverge, if only by virtue of them having two different physical viewpoints. In most cases, the new instance will retain the same identity as their down-tree instance at first, though over time this may drift. The point at which an instance becomes a new cladist, adopting their own identity (and, often, name) unique from their down-tree, is called ''individuation.'' This is a matter of intent — even if only subconscious or half-sensed — on behalf of the instance, rather than simply a mechanical process.

A '''cladist''' is an identity that is embodied in one or more [[Instance\|instances]]. While each of these instances remains their own complete individual with their own mind, they share the same memories and identity. Cladists are members of a [[clade]] (even if they are the only member of that clade) and those who have [[Forking\|forked]] from a cladist are instances of that cladist, with the originating instance being described as the down-tree instance.

	~~{{See also\|Clade}}~~		'''Cladists''' are a social construct, an identity which may be shared by many identical [[instances]] on [[the System]]. The differences between one cladist and another are usually things such as their names, memories, and relationships. When an instance [[forks]], they remain ''of'' the same cladist until they eventually individuate and become an entirely new cladist.
	~~A "cladist" is~~ an ~~individual who lives~~ on the System. ~~They may be the original~~ [[~~Uploading\|uploaded~~]] ~~mind (called~~ the ~~"root instance") or~~ they ~~may be~~ a [[~~Forking\|fork~~]] ~~(or~~ a ~~fork~~ of a ~~fork~~, or a ~~fork~~ of a ~~fork of a fork...). As such~~, ~~one may also see~~ the ~~terms "instance" or "~~fork~~" applied to an individual; these are subcategories of the general category "cladist"~~.
			A cladist is distinguished from a [[clade]] in that they are themselves ''of'' a clade, just as an instance is ''of'' a cladist; that is, a clade may be composed of many cladists, who are each in turn represented by many instances. Many on the System call themselves cladists as a demonym, defining themselves as distinguished from those who live [[phys-side]] by the distributed identity afforded by their ability to fork.
