If I'm using a computer, and my OS is switched one day from Windows to TempleOS, my outputs will look very different. How I perceive the world will look very different. My internal state may be altered by the new perception. But I am the same operator before and after.

Two hundred fifty years before today
When man had found his home in foreign land
Had felt the guidance of a greater Hand
And followed where His trails had made a way
Felt certain that their hearts were meant to stay
And in so doing, risked a treason grand
To follow words above the king's command
A greater King had other plans to lay
So it was their great and mighty will
And the Maker's will from which it came
Which brought to us the country we have still
United both in spirit and in name
Unmatched in beauty, thought, or patient skill
Burning on, that bright, undying flame
