Realistically speaking.
It is NOT a transfering of conciousness and/or soul.
It would be the last recorded mental data that is transfered to the new clones brain.
Technically, the original person died a long time ago and the clone is just a new version of them, with a different "soul" taking its place.
In reality, this is actually very horrible to put people through.
If the cloning tech of Dust were to ever be real, there would be a very good reason why only one clone could be active. It would be the fact that mutiple clones of the same person/people could very likely lead to chaos. |

Alternatively the universe itself seems to have a soul, by factoring in life in general, it would be able to observe itself, experience and remember.
To me the soul is just the entity that experiences the life of the Mind/Body that it inhabits, until the brain completely dies.
Which leads to questions such as "What happens after we die?" or "What if I have already lived other lives before this one?"
In either of those cases, we can never know, because our memories begin to form when our brains become functional, and we don't know after death because the exact person that has died does not come back.
If either of those cases are to be actualities, then it would seem to state that we may in fact live in a world of "10 demensions" (the theory that everything within the realm of possibility is happening everywhere, all the time, and repeating).
But as 5aEKUXeRJGJ27kCDnDVYak3 stated, it is simply "Too deep."

What I really want to know is: what the hell is my merc qtr clone doing while I'm deployed? Is he in a braindead stasis? Does he get a memory update after battles? And why's he in a suit?
It's a philosophical conversation about the nature of consciousness really.
If you were created 3 seconds ago, with a brain full of fake memories, how would you know?
I'm am thrilled to know that there are others out there who have thought about these things. I also came to the same POSSIBLE conclusion about tubeless teleportation.
About the merc qtr: Maybe they teleport (within the rules of the Eve universe) when in close proximity to certain areas, which could be used as an excuse to why we just phase into the battle field, when we are NOT spawning out of CRUs or Uplinks.
About the last question:
I don't think it would ultimately matter, as it is a new life, a new person, just with pieces of a previous personality. Treat them as you would anyone else. |
