Ah, the generic identity matrix.
The perfect citizen. The average housewife. Bob the builder. His children. Their various generic and uniform characteristics in the context of a social heirachy, and their absolute validity as a base state of conception from which all other living states can be judged absolutely.
The tower of generic validity, encompassing all possible valid emotional states, moral values, clothes and thoughts.
In North Korea, they worship a generic identity matrix attached to a living person. Of course, their problem, which we've known all along, was that it was attached to a living state, which encapsulates more than a bunch of things we've just imagined. Not so generic now, is he? He's accrued a lot of problems related to the imbalance of his imaginary state with the real one.
