I am a today re-incarnation of yesterme. Tomorrow, I’ll be a re-incarnation of today-me.
It works this way, very well. I could even die and be recreated, there is no natural law against that. That would be a proper reincarnation, wouldn’t it be? I mean, Alcor promises it.
Well, but I could also be split into two or more. Those would be co-incarnations.
And you still have the very analog problem of separating different incarnations. I guess the plus side is you can be content when experience doesn’t neatly factor into multiple agents instead of treating it as a problem.
The consciousnesses operates inside a mental architecture, memories, emotions around it, whatever those surroundings might be.
A techno-telepathic link should be enlightening. The narrow bandwidth between brains we have now, creates this illusion of uniqueness and of dependence of certain memories.
It’s counter-intuitive, but no absolute up-down direction—is also counter-intuitive!
If you’re going to identify with anything, you might as well identify with everything. So what? How is that scary? Some people have had beliefs extremely similar to that since before written history, and it drove them (what we call) religious, but not outright nuts.
The only view which makes sense is this:
You are a co-incarnation of me, and of everybody else, who is conscious.
It’s quite scarey and it’s a big memetic hazard as well, but nothing else makes sense.
Could you unpack that? In particular, what do you mean by co-incarnation?
It’s potentially related to some things I’m hoping on writing later on in the series, but I’m not sure if you mean the same thing.

How else should we call it?
Why exclude the unconcious?

Only with some conscious system like human or maybe some animal. Or with a conscious computer, or software if you want.
