>>12659912>physically transferable to a computer,Well, the Moravec transfer could be functional. Computers don't have to function digitally and nanomachines could and did take over the functions of several brain cells. Gradually you could use the neurogenesis/neuroregeneration process to replace all your brain cells with nanomachines thus transfer the mind from one substrate to another. Technically we could also connect your brain with virtual brain cells and let your mind grow this virtual brain until it has grown enough that the destruction of the analog brain won't mean the death of the self that emerges from the various processes. The issue of course will be on how to shift the entire brain architecture and make the physical part redundant, but some cases existed in which someone lost a third of his brain and still functioned because some parts of the surviving brain took over the functions of the lost ones. We would have to artifically induce those to shift the mind to become digitally.
