Books on Identity, Time and Consciousness

Long-form articulation of identity under change

Long-Form Articulations

The books presented here develop the Bellori Framework in extended form. Each work explores a specific domain while remaining grounded in the same underlying framework of retained coherence under change. Together they form a coherent body of work rather than separate themes.


A domain-independent foundation for identity under change

The Principle of Identity: Preserved Coherence Under Change

This book introduces the structural foundation of identity as preserved coherence under change.

Rather than defining identity through substance, narrative, biology or psychology, it formulates a domain-independent principle that applies across systems — from physical processes to living systems and conscious experience.

It establishes the conceptual core underlying all subsequent work.

The Principle of Identity as Preserved Coherence Under Change - Matteo Bellori bookcover

I Never Knew It Was in Me

Matteo Bellori - I Never Knew It Was in Me - bookcover

A reflective account of discovering identity later in life.


This book explores late autism recognition, masking, coherence and personal continuity — not as reinvention, but as structural alignment.


A lived perspective on what remains when understanding changes.








Time That Shapes Us

Matteo Bellori - Time That Shapes Us - bookcover

A structural exploration of time, change and continuity.


This book examines time not as a force that causes change, but as an ordering relation that arises within retained coherence. Change is fundamental.


Time does not produce transformation; it reflects how identity persists while undergoing variation.


A conceptual account of continuity, persistence and structured transformation.

Entangled Connections

Entangled Connections by Matteo Bellori

An interdisciplinary thought experiment at the intersection of physics, biology, and lived experience.


The book explores whether the relational structure revealed in quantum mechanics can offer a conceptual lens for understanding human connection — without collapsing science into metaphor or reducing experience to physics.



Meaning Through Identity

cover Meaning Through Identity - by Matteo Bellori

A concise and rigorous exploration of meaning as a structural effect of preserved identity under change.


Instead of treating meaning as emotion, purpose, or belief, this book presents a domain-independent framework linking identity, coherence, vulnerability, and resilience.



A structural alternative to traditional meaning-making theories.
