Suppose there exists consciousness and there exist human selves through which consciousness flows. Suppose a new human self is created during every session of sleep and the previous one is archived. Suppose it's also possible to arbitrarily construct additional selves, which some people do out of trauma.

What kind of object is the self in this case? I've been contemplating this stuff and I'm not clear on how to model things that evolve over time in this way.
