What do you mean by contiguous? Do you mean continuous or having continuity or electrical activity? For example, if a person is frozen under water for 45 minutes and then revived, she lost the continuity in brain activity (it totally stopped) and then was restarted later. She died and then was brought back. She's still the same person right?
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
