I was curious if anyone thought that you could have a Transhuman setting where intelligence (biological or digital) was medium dependent and nontransferable? In effect, biological intelligences could not become digital intelligences and digital intelligences could not become biological intelligences. In a related idea, do you think that a Transhuman setting could exist with each intelligence is uncopyable? Do you think that a Transhuman setting could exist with those changes in assumptions or would that those changes in assumptions alter the setting too much?
