Sounds like a copy, not a transfer. If you didn't physically transport the atoms, the matter, you would end up with two duplicates living at different places and time, and with different ways of thinking after the copy, as the living experiences will diverge from that moment.
This unless you exterminate the original with each copy. Also should be considered each copy may lose information, degrade (signal integrity through distance, number of travels, and so on).

- reaperman 3y agoThe two generals problem suddenly gets very personal consequences.

- fennecbutt 3y agoIdk I'd say that the clone theory also applies to our every waking moment, each fraction of a second we're no longer the same person, even in the same body. And most certainly after sleep.
- pyinstallwoes 3y agoHow do you ensure continuity from frame of reference (observer consciousness?)
- fennecbutt 3y agoI don't know if there is true continuity. As we age our memories become memories of memories. Just as we don't see the nose between our eyes I think our brains turn a stuttered disjointed consciousness into what seems like a continuous stream. It's like walking into a room and forgetting why you walked in there.
