Most of our memories are lost over time, so when God, Omega, the Singularity, or far future Humans (GOSH) reconstruct the pattern of your memories, which ones actually represent you? The answer is none, some, and all. There is no coherently fixed individual in some absolute sense. Our self -- our soul -- consists of constantly changing matrix of traits and memory patterns that is coherent enough for us to feel that we have a self/soul, and for others to treat us as if we do, so a replicating entity must determine which set of patterns best represents our self/soul such that it would be recognizable to yourself and others. If GOSH resurrects you, for example, which of your memories will be included, and from which point in your life? If it is a select set of memories as some point, say age twenty-nine, that's not all of the memories you formed throughout your entire life, that might be interesting (and revealing!) but this would not be what it is like to be you at any point in your life. ~ Page 128/129
