The Non-Locality of Consciousness
Is consciousness local?
Consider that the body your brain and consciousness are piloting replaced itself entirely every 7-10 years.
The brain does not regenerate in this same
If experience can be described as the consciousness' agreed upon path with God, would not then forks in the road reconcile down to the path taken? It is possible that while there might be many outcomes on a given scenario, including cloning and etc., and while here and now our brains process the information on our environments, combining it with our own mental structures to form experience, that consciousness exists non-locally, contained in a local processor, but but necessarily so. In this scenario, if the processor fails consciousness does not cease, but rather is shunted to another path- how familiar or unfamiliar this path is likely dependent on the web of options connecting the moment before processor failure to the moment after, in the multiverse. All this is to say that it is possible if one is cloned because one has died, with the proper technology the duplicate might actually be the original, in any measurable sense, including by their own estimation. If one were able to mail the oath taken by their consciousness itself they would see it failing inside the brain they had become so accustomed to throughout this lifetime, and then awakening into another brain and body identical to their own. I picture this like a radio signal, with each person's being unique, and when the signal's source is dislodged from its vehicle, but another vehicle responds in kind precisely, the signal automatically redirects, without much of any experience in the space between jumps. There are certainly complications to this, but the only other solution would involve man having the ability to essentially duplicate a soul. While I do not put it outside of God's ability to manage such a possibility either, it feels like this soul shifting is preferable, smoother.
