Really, a self is just a matrix of cognitive associations. Learned behaviors, tastes, opinions. Conditioned fears and and culturally imparted memories.... And with a complete enough series of progressive cognitive indices, with a more-or-less full ontogentic trajectory, you had a person. Theoretically, if could activate this data, you could simulate an entire other person.
