Identicity: a philosophical neologism to differentiate inherited identity and constructed subjectivity

This article presents the notion of identicity as a conceptual proposal aimed at distinguishing two dimensions of subjective constitution: identity, understood as an inherited and relatively stable core, and the dynamic layers formed by experiences, habits, and sociocultural sedimentations. The term is introduced as a philosophical neologism in critical dialogue with consolidated concepts — such as habitus (Bourdieu), narrative identity (Ricoeur, Dennett), empirical self (James), and phenomenological self (Husserl). The theoretical basis draws on contemporary research in neuroplasticity and epigenetics, as well as the analogical use of the entropic metaphor from complexity physics and information theory. The article argues that identicity constitutes a mediating category between biology and culture, permanence and mutability, offering applicability in clinical psychology, sociology, education, and philosophy of mind.
