I think that's comparing apples to oranges, both are fruit, but not the same.
They depend upon the identity of the person.

It's not conclusive, I agree.
But it's indicative.

I agree. If I understand correctly, human identity changes much than, for example, Mab's identity (Uriel would be an even more extreme example).  In fact, I am wondering if perhaps the Names that Chauncy got for Harry are not so usefur right now.

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

I suspect that they are:  Harry I think expects so, for one thing.

But also:  everyone who has Soulgazed Harry is still immune to further Soulgaze with him; and Jim has said that someone *can* reset that, and be Soulgazed anew, if they change sufficiently.

My suspicion is that both changes are changes to the Soul -- the core identity.
I doubt we will get clarity unless somebody asks for a WoJ during an AMA event.

  Truth of the matter, is the truth in the story is what Jim makes it.  Your basic genetics don't change, so basically you are who you are.  Life's experiences are another matter, and I don't think personality is understood very well.  The latter is born out by the cloning of pets, in theory the genes are the same, but the pet doesn't act like the original did.  So tracking spells apparently have nothing to do with a person's DNA, other factors must be at work.  Also since she is possessed is Justine the same woman she was before so was the attempt to track her doomed from the start?
