The hypothetical process of scanning and mapping the complete structure and state of a biological brain at a synaptic (or deeper) level and transferring that information into a computational substrate—a computer, a synthetic brain, or a network. This would create a digital consciousness, a "mindfile," that is a continuation of the original person's identity, capable of existing in virtual realities, controlling synthetic bodies, or achieving a form of immortality. It's the ultimate divorce of mind from meat, raising existential questions about the nature of self and continuity.
