An '''instance''' is one whole individual who may or may not have other near-identical instances present on [[the System]]. An instance is ''of'' a [[cladist]], entirely independent but not yet individuated. When an instance individuates, they become a new cladist. Many [[taskers]] have only one instance and never [[fork]] at all, whereas [[trackers]] and [[dispersionistas]] likely have many instances. All of the mechanics of the System and the means by which one interacts with the world apply to instances. Cladists, by contrast, are a social construct, an identity that does not have a corporeal representation. It is an instance who quits, who forks, who talks, and who sleeps. | An '''instance''' is one whole individual who may or may not have other near-identical instances present on [[the System]].
