[[Selfish]] is a property of objects: it means that the object has an identity (for [[sameness]] purposes) unique to the event of its creation. Selfish is the antonym of [[Selfless]].

You can think of comparisons between Selfish objects as comparing pointers, though this is not entirely accurate in the presence of [[forwarding ref]]s.

All mutable objects either are Selfish or contain Selfish components, since nothing can be Selfless and mutable. {{XXX|Explain this further?}}
