[SPOILER] Did she tell him?

[cantremember]

That thing, I think, can be solve through, if you create the copy and then run both iterations in sync with each others for some time (shared thoughts, sensory inputs and memories, that stuff). That will merge them into one consciousness and thus solve the continuity "cointoss" issue. Would require some additional work in case of syncing meat human and his digital scan, though, but after that it should be easy and straightforward.

Interesting idea. I think in the game world two cortex chips always means two conciousnesses, and you can't just "fuse" them without destroying and reconstructing them.
Or if it were possible, Simon would exist as two interlinked bodies, and killing half of his "body" would be tremendously painful.
