This precludes the possibility of God's inducing anything about the universe. God cannot be a Beyesean, God cannot use statistical reasoning. When Rashi explains that God was asking the question to give Adam the chance to repent, he is explaining the use of anthroponuistic terminology. Unfortunately, Rashi describes God as choosing a strategy designed to provoke a reaction in Adam. This is another anthroponuism, but as I said, the use of anthroponuisms is unavoidable.
Philosophers question the nature of identity.
In law, the statute of limitations is in part an acknowledgment of this question. The 88 year old man is not the same person he was 74 years ago when he shoplifted a comic book. For some crimes, there are limits on how long after the crime the offender can be brought to justice. Philosophers focus on the difference in memories between the child and the adult, the teenager and the old man. Economists grapple with the same issue, the question of identity, but call it time-inconsistency.
