You started with a set of values and preferences and an ontology. When you encountered dust theory, you discovered that one of the definitions used to define your values—the notion of personal identity—wasn’t fully coherent.

It’s not a theory, it’s not even a hypothesis—it’s an idea. The bar for theory and hypothesis is far above what ‘dust theory’ can manage at this point.
