Restoration arguments

Restoration arguments are based on restoration experiments. A major purpose of restoration experiments is in determining what conditions, in a restored body before and after death will result in the restoration the same consciousness (awarepath) and, or ixperiencitness. There are many pre-restoration body states depending on decomposition of the body right before restoration and there are many post restoration states depending on how the restoration process changed the body. There can be imagined a continuum of possible restoration experiments starting at the death of a person and immediately restoring them to life again. There are many different definitions of death such as the heart stoping, becoming unconscious, organ failure, not breathing. brain death, rigor mortise, etc. Then there is a combinations and degrees of these conditions. There is also the factor of amount of time since death occurred and amount of disintegration of the body that has occurred during this time.

Under what conditions will a body be too disintegrated to be restored and have the same ixperiencitness? Under what conditions will a body be too disintegrated to be restored and have the same consciousness? Under what conditions will a body be too disintegrated that when restored it would not be able to produce the same awarepath that it would have it it had not died? The ixperiencit theory of consciousness has an answer to all of these questions. It does not take any part of a body to produce a consciousness with a particular ixperiencitness. So any matter in the original's body can be used.

The disintegration of a body can be caused by natural or artificial means. The colder the body is stored at, the less disintegration occurs over time. Of course, freezing is a form of cell disintegration itself. Burning of the body deliberately or naturally is a fast form of disintegration.

We can imagine a continuum of possible experiments where on the one extreme the heart and breathing stops for a short time in the body and is quickly restarted to an original structure and functioning producing the consciousness and ixperiencitness that it otherwise would have produced, to the case where there is only one hydrogen atom left from the original body but again after the reconstruction, process there is complete restoration to the same level of structure and functioning as in the first experimental case. Stated in another way in every experimental case the bodies are restored to a state where they, for at least a designated period of time are producing the same physapath. The question is will the identical physapaths be producing the same awarepath and ixperiencitness as if the death had not occurred? If not, at what point with int the continuum of experiments did the resulting identical physapaths not produce the same awarepath and ixperiencitness and why? Remember identical physapaths produces identical behaviorpaths with identical self identification, memories, skills, knowledge, personality, and identical information about internal feelings, emotions, and other sensations. They will even lie about the same things identically.

Variables within the experiments will be how long the body was dead before restoration. How much of the original's matter is used in the restoration. If and how much of the old matter was placed in the same place and had the same function in the restored body as it did in the pre-dead body. When ever we are making exceptions to the rule that identical structure and functioning of matter will not produce the same awarepaths and ixperiencitness or ixpepath when there is variation in the ixperiencitness over time, we are making a more complex theory.

The ixperiencitness is predicted by the ixperiencit theory of consciousness to be a continuum like concept with the possibility of different ixperiencitness to be percentage like identical. So one ixperiencitness could be 95% identical to another ixperiencitness. Within an ixperiencitness there can be many variable factors that themselves can have different percentage wise identity to other ixperiencitnesses. So these sub factors can have different percentage identities among themselves.

On the far extreme of the experiments If a restoration needs one atom from the original body to produced the original's post death awarepath and the original's ixperiencitness, this single atom needs some supernatural property that caries this ixperiencitness through time. If it takes numerous amount of the originals atoms to carry the original's ixperiencitness through death to a restoration, science still has no way to naturally account for this process, thus still making it a supernatural situation. Supernatural or not, we still have a cut off problem, even if atoms have some type of supernatural properties that carry the ixperiencitness of the original, how many atoms does it take one, one billion, one trillion etc.. If it takes ten trillion atoms, what happens when we remove one? Will the resulting body not have an ixperiencitness? Will it have a different ixperiencitness? Will it have an ixperiencitness that is very close to that of the original?
