Proof sequence 1 for superimmortality
More actions
For a definition of proof in this case it will be a complex combination and sequence of experimental evidence combined with rational arguments that is coherent with science as a whole,
This is a proof that a cidentireplica will produce the same ixperiencitness as its original is, has, or will, produce.

Identical structure and functioning produce identical behavior
different experiments
analogy to TV, computer (the brain is a physical system as is the TV) (to expect the brain to be a none physical system needs proof) popular bias is for the brain to be supernatural with souls etc. so there can be life after death.
These experiments are complex but not impossible to create and study
Identical structure and functioning produce identical consciousness
different experiments repeating the experiments over and over with different question

Close approximate structure and functioning produce identical behavior

Reductio ad absurdum arguments
When the consciousness produced is different from the behavior produced by the body. The awareness of this can avalanche
first experiment argument
You need the ixperiencitness superimmortality does not need If you are consciousness then
Structure and functioning of a body is understandable Structure and functioning of the body can be mapped to behavior and to consciousness Because they can be mapped the consciousness produced can be predicted from the structure and functioning of the body
You are the consciousness produced by the body and not the body arguments Examples when you are dead your body still exists but there is no "you" coma, sleep, You are the consciousness not the body you are the functioning of a material body by changing the structure and functioning of that body you can produce any possible memory self identity
the same behavior will be produced with any sequence of previous sequence of consciousnesses produced
Simplicity versus complexity argument
Technologically useful versus technologically useless
Predictable versus unpredictable argument
Natural versus supernatural argument
the diversity argument where at any point in your life free will we process the information that we receive and make a decision on this information but with exactly the same conditions we will make the same choice. Very small changes in input or structure can make very large out put changes in behavior and consciousness.
