Resolution Criteria:
This question resolves to "Yes" if, before January 1st, 2040, a formal, publicly released statement—either in a peer-reviewed scientific journal or from a reputable academic or research institution—announces that a human individual's mind (including their memories, personality, consciousness, and sense of self) has been transferred to and demonstrated to operate within a non-biological computer. All of the following criteria must be met:

1. Formal Documentation:

   • The claim must be published in a peer-reviewed journal or as an official institutional report.

2. Expert Verification:

   • At least 10 signatories must endorse the claim, each holding a PhD or equivalent in a relevant field (e.g., neuroscience, cognitive science, AI, philosophy of mind).

   • Each signatory must have a faculty or research position at an accredited university, recognized research institution, or reputable company.

   • Each signatory must have a track record of peer-reviewed research.

3. Evidence of Mind Uploading:

   • The document must clearly state that a human individual’s memories, cognitive functions, personality traits, and subjective sense of identity have been replicated and are demonstrably operating within a non-biological computational medium.

   • The evidence should include data supporting continuity of personal identity (e.g., verified recognition of personal memories known only to that individual, consistent personality profiles, or other established psychological measures).
