I've been backing into a terminology and a set of distinctions lately. They revolve around the concept of looking at our selves as organisms with the specifics of our conditioning acting through it.

It also distinguishes between the properties intrinsic to us as organisms and those particular habits that make up our conditioning as we find it. For instance, we are organisms that operate through conditioning. That never changes, but the specifics of our conditioning are incremental and even accidental accumulations of habits that can be altered and even replaced more of less.
