Re: I am.

Yes, I is an indexical, and we have in our language one indexical at our disposal, 

<>

which is “this document”, so we can formalize “I" as  the author of the document  as
in N3 as

[ is dc:author of <> ] 

read “the author of this message”

So

[ is dc:author of <> ]  .

Could be read as “I exist”.

Or in plain turtle

<> dc:author [] .
