NONDUSTRUCTIVE MIND UPLOADING AND THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS
2023 by Keith Wiley
A common interpretation of wakeful, nondestructive mind uploading is that the person with the postoperative original body exclusively persists the preoperative identity and that the person with the upload’s body is some sort of identity copy.

This paper revisits this argument to show its weaknesses, and offers a more consistent interpretation via an alternative identity model: branching psychological identity.
