Googling Past Lives If the goal of an afterlife mechanism is to perpetuate an evolving body of memories (that serve as prior lives to the future vessel), you get an infinite-game afterlife agent. In designing such an agent, you’d ignore most proceduralized skill memories completely. Instead, you’d go for a Big Data approach: store as much raw memory as possible, in as unprocessed (or organically processed, with retention of the originals) a form as possible, with the ideal being no structuring at all.
