What is your legal theory by which a partnership is a person, in that
case?  The theory that I've used is based on the partnership's rights
and obligations devolving onto things that can already have rights and
obligations under Agoran law.  Your identity rule doesn't require that.
To take a concrete example, how is Yin Corp a person, when its obligations
just get shuffled around between two agreements and never devolve onto
an entity that is categorically capable of taking any action?
