The "I" repeats itself through variation, much in the same manner 2,3,4...etc. are variations of 1 repeating itself into newer form.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that I am conscious of observing an apple, but then I look at at orange..that the 'I' has changed?

Yes.

what do you think I just said? if you're thinking and aware of it, that is acknowledging that one's self is. I am that I am.

I read it wrong.

What is there, which is NOT 'physical'?

Yes.

What has the 'I' here, supposedly and allegedly, changed into, and from, EXACTLY?

Abstractions such as a perfect circle or the number 1.

It has changed into the action and form which it has committed.

If abstractions are NOT physical, then what are they, EXACTLY?

It has changed into the action and form which it has committed.

So, in the EXAMPLE which we are talking about, which was; "I am conscious of observing an apple, but then I look at at orange",

what action and form have 'I', supposedly and allegedly, changed into and from EXACTLY in this provided EXAMPLE, which you are DIRECTLY responding to anyway, by the way?

Are 'you' suggesting that the 'I' has changed FROM being a 'consciousness' of "observing an apple"? And, if yes, then who and/or what is doing the observing, and, who and/or what is doing the consciousness of the observing, itself.

Also, are 'you' suggesting that the 'I' has changed INTO a "looking at an orange"?

If yes, then how EXACTLY do 'I' become a 'looking'?

But if no, to any or all of these, then what are you suggesting and/or saying and meaning, EXACTLY?

Abstractions as non physical. Abstraction is.

The intellect changes into what it observes be it the apple or orange given the act of observation is the act of mirroring a phenomenon. This mirroring of the phenomenon is the repetition in a new state whether it is thought (in this case), word or deed. Looking is mirroring.
