I've had the theory that our identity begins as an extension of the representation of space.

We are simply the node at the center in a coordinate system, connected to the same emotions, rewards, and memories that every other node in the graph.

Pretty sure our identify is just that of the actor behind our own actions.

i.e. Our brain models causal relationships, sees the correlation between it's own pre-action thoughts and the following action, and therefore models itself as an actor/causal agent responsible for these thoughts and actions.
