Reincarnation pre-supposes entities and essences that might transmigrate; rebirth doesn't.

Understood

Phenomena replicate, not people, because there are no people (selves) in the first place. That replication of phenomena is rebirth

Say a person lives a good life in society. Even after his death, the things he did or said would remain and evolve in society. If you build a house, many generations will live in it. If you write a book, many generations will read it. If you teach your kids, they will become parents and tech their own kids. It goes on... Is this what you mean by replication of phenomena?
