Memory is the recognition, retention, reproduction or re-recognition of things that have been experienced by the human brain, and it is the basis for advanced mental activities such as thinking and imagination. Human memory is associated with changes in the structure of the brain's hippocampus and the chemical composition inside the brain. Memory, as a basic mental process, is closely related to other mental activities. Memory links people's mental activities and is the basic function of people's learning, work and life. The process of transforming abstract disorder into figurative order is the key to memory.
Memory is one of the verification methods to distinguish me from others.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4
How do I tell if I'm me? What supports my role, how do I determine that I am myself, the unique me?
One of the ways to judge is my memory, in my memory, my name, birthday, looks, habits, past, loved ones, friends, etc. If my memories are extracted, how do I determine who I am and who am I? It could be a self-aware relationship where I can't admit who I am after losing my memory. However, if I put that part of the extracted memory into the LMD, and then write a set of programs according to the thinking habits and logic in the memory, can he replace me? And I can't find how to prove that he is not me, I am my evidence, then can I be erased? If LMD can be proven to be robot, then if it is a clone, even the genes are exactly the same, there is flesh and blood and soul, then I can't prove that I am me, maybe not to prove that I am to survive, but anyone who has seen Nicolas Cage's "Face Change" knows that it feels very bad for others to pretend to be you. (The full name of LMD is life model decoy, a high-simulation robot.) People who have seen Westworld should have an impression. ）

It can be assumed that memory is an important part of our self-improvement, and if memory is missing, then we cannot be called complete people. When we die, the memory disappears after the real brain dies, then it is often said that the soul is the carrier of the mind, and the mind lacks memory, will the soul be complete? The belief in our country is that when a person dies, he must cross the Nai Ho Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, and forget all the love and hatred in his past life after drinking Meng Po soup. The pure soul is like a blank piece of paper, reincarnated again, that is, we often say that in the next life, in the next life, we will reincarnate as a man or a woman, a small animal or a bird or a beast? Suppose that the next life is still a person, exactly the same as the present, name, appearance, height, body shape, but lack of memories of the past. The love, affection, and friendship I have experienced are completely different from what I have been, so how to prove that he is me? In other words, does that so-called next-life me have anything to do with the current me, is there any connection?
Don't you understand? Let's take an example, we cloned a me, someone exactly like me, and then we changed his memories, arranged a family, and let him live after I died, in a place far away from where I used to live. So what does he have to do with me, is there any connection? Is he a continuation of my life, reincarnation, no memory, even if he is really reincarnated, is it related to me? Unless after being reincarnated many times, the sudden memory awakens, and the memories of several lifetimes are found, then it is really related to me, otherwise I am really dead, even if I wash away the memory and resurrect me, that I cannot be regarded as me.
