Re: Merged Uploads
What do you mean by program conflicts and why would there be any?

Re: Merged Uploads
Human brains aren't standardized. It's not just a matter of having different memories, although memories and sense of identity would conflict. They are structurally individual, producing different chemicals at any given moment. "Merge" two brain emulations and you'd have conflicting response patterns for any stimulus. The thing would crash.

I think he's taking your use of "program conflicts" to be literal where really you meant "incompatible information systems". |

Edit: This might seem to be a restatement of some above posts, but I mean that the ad-hockery is distinct between parts of the same brain and between time slices of the lifetime of the same brain. Extreme stochasm and fabulation by billions of neurons are under the hood of the skull, but the overall similar pattern of needs and rate of the Monte Carlo-esque method of solution makes it seem like there is a mostly reliable commonality of behavior among distinct individuals but no one is ever quite the same as another person and never quite the same as they were years ago, nor could they be with so many moving parts.
