Two or more selves existing at the same time but really the same self. How to communicate with the other -yous- without getting -yourselves- confused. Making the ph rase 'Beam me up Scotty' a reality by zapping the information that represents you around the universe.
	If the current location and state of every nerve cell in your brain were reduced to a number and then translated into a lightwave, you could travel through space at the speed of light. Your self will have a different set of physical laws than it has had thus far.
	If this number were abstracted from your brain, sent through space, and fed into an awaiting artificial brain you will be able to exist in three seperate 'places', where now you only exist in one; your brain.
	Since time is a function of consciousness production withing the brain, our sense of place is centered within our brain. It is hard for us to imagine our consciousness taking place anywhere else than where it occurs now, since we have not experienced it anywhere else.
	Imagine what it would be like if your self could simultaneously exist in two or more selves at the same or different times....
	If they were all recieving constant transmitions, in the form of these translated soul numbers, which represent all experiences that each of your selves had up to the moment that the number was read or recorded, then you could have all of your other selve's experiences theyformed at their location....
	As long as you have your other self's experiences, you will be the other's self!	.
(DSMUTS) - Duplicate Self Updating Transmission System.
The process of updating memories and experiences that other "yous" have had, and making them your own, calls for an entirely new way of looking at what consciousness really is, and how it produces the moment that you are trapped in now.
	Once you are there your recent experiences, eminating from your multiple selves, could be floating around in space on their way to you (now & then). The process of recieving updates from multiple other "yous", will have to be managed and performed in a linear manner (one after the other), since our selves move through time in discrete packets of neural phenomenon.
	Get down with yourselves !-!-!-! There is a massive party gettin' ready to go down and it might be healthy to invite some 'one' other than your 'self'. Maybe mix it up with some other's selves. Or just be someone else for awhile.
	You may find yourself in some strange places if, for instance, if your soul signal reflects you off from the debrees in the Oort Cloud!
	A method must be established for transmitting (DSMUTS) the same signal a number of times or a confirmation process that informs that the signal is in the proper form and heading in the right direction
The Twin Paradox is about one self dividing into two of the same self while existing either at the same time or at different times.
	The self is either the result of a pattern of neuronal activity or it is not. If the self is only a pattern of neuronal activity then it will be possible to exist again if this pattern is duplicated.
	A pattern is a pattern and as long as the arbitrary components perform their proper roles, the time and location of this pattern is irrelevant. The atoms that make up your body and brain are these arbitrary components. The same pattern will occors if all the previous conditions are met of the pattern TYPE.
	We confuse connectivity in the brain, which results from learning, with the basic self which is set, to some degree or another, before hand by the genes.
	This sense of self is a learned construction seperate from the genetically constructed basic self and these two, distinct patterns, are being confused with each other.
	The one, our self aware component, claims that it's the other, while it consists of only a small percentage of the parts of the brain required for consciousness to take place.
	A small group of neurons, in a sense, claim that they are the entire brain.
	Consciousness verses Self Awareness and how the second controls the much larger series of events.
	Consciousness involves large regions of the brain where as self awareness may be a a small amount of neuronal activity spread around the brain. Self awareness gives the impression that it is the entire show, when it is more like a sideshow cast by the larger consciousness producing activities of the neurons. Self awareness tries to take over and uses all of the elements of these other nerves, of 'plain consciousness', as if it were producing their activities.
	All moments may consist of the same series of steps that lead to all moments that we can experience. There may only be one moment, the one you are going through now. Different sensory experiences and memories go by this small group of frames, as in a filmstrip and projector, that represent one moment but it is only the same moment with different experiences and memories.
	Some think that this moment is about 12 seconds long, as it gains a second it looses a second, but this moment is still 12 seconds long. We move along through a 12 second slice of time.
Deep Space communications after the Soul Shifter revoloution will give us the ability to move our latest experiences from place to place.
	The version of you that has the latest updated 'number' will be the most current you. Again, the number will represent all the memories and experiences that you can now have and will be a formula for reconstructing your brain as it is now in it's entirty.
	If you made a reading of your brain state on one day and then another reading the next day each of these numbers would generally be you when re-translated back into a soulshifter.
	The difference would be that the first number would contain all of your lifelong memories and experiences up until it's recording. But the second recording would have all of your memories like the first number, but it would also contain the days worth of memories missing from the first number.
	What will happen when two of you are happening at the same time? It will be fine as long as both of you are at different locations. Confusion of who is the current self will come in when two or more of your other selves are sending you updates at the same time and they interfere with each other.
	Alternatively, all of your selves could be constantly updating each other and there would be no need for any one of your other selves to decide that it is the real self.
	Send 'The Number' and the other you will actually think that it is having the memories that you had over there.
	By simply arranging nerve cells it may be possible to make a person believe that anything is happenning. There will have to be some sort of verifying method for avoiding the implantation of false memories.
