is there any definitive rejection of my admittedly naive notion that if you can literally read out every single atomic position, then “Chop off the head with a guillotine and drop it into a bucket of liquid nitrogen” should, yes, just work?
Logically, it’s possible that there is dynamic information not conveyed by “every single atomic position” that is lost when making a static copy. One could imagine that a recording of the positions over some amount of time would do better.
Admittedly, our current understanding of physics might already rule out this possibility without my knowing.
I’ve wondered, before, whether there’s any way to get yearly MRI, eeg, fMRI, etc. recordings on durable media for future preservation with your corpsicle. I couldn’t afford it, but it seems like it could be useful.

There are also more esoteric uses for regular baselines of that sort of thing. They come in handy while recovering from brain damage, for example.
