Abstract
The conclusion explains the notion of “D-continuity” as it relates to personal identity. D-continuity is then used to illustrate the vertical lines of a philosophical genealogical method of inquiry. These vertical lines, when integrated with their horizontal counterparts, produce a genealogy of the phenomenon in question. I demonstrate how the above model, taken from ancestral research practices, exemplifies implexic genealogy.
