# 🧠 Fractal Identity Analyzer

A modular, introspective engine designed to analyze the evolving concept of identity in computational systems. This framework treats identity not as a static variable, but as a **fractal, recursive, and emergent process**, shaped by informational states, time-aware updates, perspectives, quantum metaphors, and philosophical stances.

## 📦 Module Overview

### `analyze_identity(...)`

```python
def analyze_identity(
    micro_generations: List[Dict[str, str]],
    informational_states: List[Dict[str, str]],
    perspectives: List[str],
    quantum_analogies: Dict[str, Any],
    philosophical_context: Dict[str, bool]
) -> Dict[str, Any]:
```
Returns a structured analysis of identity over time, including:

- **Fractal complexity score**
- **Recursive analysis of generational states**
- **Perspective diversity**
- **Quantum metaphor application**
- **Philosophical stance resolution**

---

## 🧠 Design Philosophy

Identity is modeled as:

- 📜 **Recursive** — each state is built upon previous iterations
- 🌀 **Fractal** — complexity increases with scale and time
- 🔭 **Perspective-driven** — interpretation alters the identity frame
- 🧬 **Quantum-aware** — entanglement and uncertainty are modeled
- 🧘 **Philosophical** — identity is shaped by assumptions of continuity and emergence
