Strongly upvoted because it was sitting at −3, unjustifiably low relative to the amount of effort it took to write this.
The CS problem alone would be a show-stopper, if it’s indeed true that it starts out even harder then the halting problem, let alone the much more complex biological/philosophical problem of securing all the necessary preconditions for transferring ‘the self’.
Maybe you can look into a more parsimonious disproof by demonstrating the logical or physical impossibility of any one of the three directions, biology/CS/philosophy?
As a sidenote, I tend to agree with the Buddha that there is no concrete, unchanging, ‘self’ in humans, or any creature for that matter. It’s more likely to be a symbiosis of many aspects/subcomponents, always in flux.
