Reconstruction experiments

From Aware Theory

Reconstruction experiments are scientific experiments where the dead bodies of people or other conscious beings are reconstructed in different ways with the goal to see what the resulting behaviors, consciousnesses, and ixperiencitnesses will be produced. At his point in our scientific and technological development we can not reconstruct dead bodies. However, we can imagine many different processes of reconstruction and then to logically determine what are the likely consequences. We do have a great deal of information that can be used to determine (predict) the results of these rational experiments. First, each person that has ever lived is an experiment into what a specific structure and functioning body will produce in terms of behavior, consciousness, and ixperiencitness. Without evidence to the contrary, we can make the prediction that the same structure and functioning body will produce the same behavior, consciousness, and ixperiencitness. It is a logical and experimental certainty that identical structure and functioning will produce identical behavior. It also follows that there are changes that can be made in the body that are so small that they do not effect the over all functioning of the body for the life time of the body. These kind of changes are like very small changes in the position of a singular atom or molecule There are innumerable amounts of these kinds of changes that can occur in a body or brain.

Types of reconstruction experiments:

  1. Identical reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at or close to death.
  2. Very close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at or close to death.
  3. Close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at or close to death.
  4. Approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at or close to death.
  5. Identical reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at any time before death death.
  6. Very close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at any time before death.
  7. Close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at any time before death.
  8. Approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at any time before death.
  9. Identical reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at any time after death.
  10. Very close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at any time after death.
  11. Close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at any time after death.
  12. Approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of the original at any time after death.
  13. Identical reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at or close to death.
  14. Very close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at or close to death.
  15. Close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at or close to death.
  16. Approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at or close to death.
  17. Identical reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at any time before death death.
  18. Very close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at any time before death.
  19. Close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at any time before death.
  20. Approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at any time before death.
  21. Identical reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at any time after death.
  22. Very close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at any time after death.
  23. Close approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at any time after death.
  24. Approximate reconstruction to the structure and functioning of someone else at any time after death.


Time and the amount of matter used in the reconstruction are other variables

The science of superimmortality's predictions for these experiments and why: For each case there are three predictions: first for what behavior, if any, is produced, second for what consciousness, if any, is produced, and third for what ixperiencitness, if any, is produced.

  1. These type of experiments are not likely to occur because of the condition of being identical.
    1. Identical reconstruction of the structure and functioning of the original person's body at death or close to it, will produce, to begin with, the behavior of the original at the time close to death.
    2. Identical reconstruction of the structure and functioning of the original person's body at death or close to it, will produce, to begin with, the consciousness of the original at the time close to death.
    3. Identical reconstruction of the structure and functioning of the original person's body at death or close to it, will produce, the ixperiencitness of the original at the time close to death. If the structure and functioning does not change to much then the ixperiencitness produced by the body will continue to be the same
  2. There are an innumerable amount of these types of experiments each with very small changes they are much more likely to occur when trying to make identical copies. Identity from a reconstruction is not necessary to produce identical conscious and ixperiencitness.
    1. Close identical reconstruction of the structure and functioning of the original person's body at death or close to it, will produce, to begin with, the behavior of the original at the time close to death.
    2. Close identical reconstruction of the structure and functioning of the original person's body at death or close to it, will produce, to begin with, the consciousness of the original at the time close to death.
    3. Close identical reconstruction of the structure and functioning of the original person's body at death or close to it, will produce, the ixperiencitness of the original at the time close to death. If the structure and functioning does not change to much then the ixperiencitness produced by the body will continue to be the same
  3. The larger the differences in structure and functioning in the reconstructed body as compared to the original body structure and functioning the more likely there will be a difference in the behavior and or consciousness But the changes can still be small enough so that the ixperiencitness is still identical. The differences in the behavior and consciousness can be so small that they might not even be recognized objectively or subjectively.
  4. At any point in your life there is a structure to your body If that structure is reconstructed and then directed or allowed to function as it did at that point in your life behavior consciousness and ixperiencitness will be produced. But what behavior consciousness and ixperiencitness will be produced? The first experiment argument predicts that it should be identical to the first time these conditions were created.
