Transfer of consciousness

Asa H learns a web of concepts like those outlined in my post of 14 Nov 2017 (plus some I don’t know how to translate into words). A part of this web is Asa’s consciousness*, see for example my blog of 21 July 2016. While it is possible to copy Asa, the entire web, to another computer** it is not possible to transfer the consciousness from one Asa agent into another, different, Asa agent. Two different Asa agents will have learned somewhat different concept webs and consciousness will not be able to make sense of it all.

* I realize that among experts there is no consensus on what “consciousness” is or how it works.

** But its not easy to port Asa programs from Windows to Macs to Linux to Android to NXT to eV3 to Vex etc.
