Incompatibility of functioning is the concept that when we mix the neurons of two people we do not necessarily have the consciousness that is half way or some were between the two. First how many ways are there to mix the neurons of two different people? The answer is there is a tremendously large amount of ways. Many of these ways will produce a brain structure and consequently brain functioning that will be very different from either of the original two individuals. As a result we have a consciousness that is very different from the two original consciousness. So when we consider experiments where we switch matter, in the sense of neurons, between two brains, seeing what the out come is an interchange that we think will produce a combination of both the original consciousnesses, will in fact produce any number of other person's consciousnesses. The matter itself does not carry the consciousness the structure and functioning does. So when we switch the matter of two brains we do not know what consciousness or potential consciousness we will end up with. We can end up with the situation where we combine more of the of person A's neurons than of persons B's neurons but end up with a conscious version of B and not A.
