I meant that information theoretic-death is a point beyond which restoring a person requires reversing entropy. Thus we can only argue against the finality of this kind of death if there is a way to reverse entropy (which seems not to be the case). I admit my sentence there was too opaque.
Reversing entropy is insufficient. You have to interact with a past that no longer has any traces in the present. It’s not enough to have a way to turn steam into ice cubes. You need a time camera.

I think the definition is clearer if you avoid reference to entropy, but I get what you’re getting at now. Thanks!
