The idea that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. It's contrasted with Closed [Individualism] and Empty [Individualism], 2 other philosophies of personal identity. Closed [Individualism] is the standard common sense view of identity where "you" start existing when you're born, and stop existing when you die. "You" are essentially a line or line segment existing throughout time. Empty Individualism is the idea that you only exist for a single moment. Every moment you die, and a new consciousness arises in your body to take its place, thinking they're you. Buddhists have a similar philosophy called anattā about the existence of the self. Andy Weir's short story The Egg also has similar ideas.
