Reply to comment by 21_MushroomCupcakes in When does an individual's death occur if the biological brain is gradually replaced by synthetic neurons? by NefariousNaz

i think it has to be juuuuust slow enough that each synthetic neuron connects its spindrils to the surrounding flesh neurons BEFORE the flesh neuron it’s replacing is removed.

the order should be:

  1. connect the synthneuron to all the same surroundingneurons as the fleshneuron it’s replacing

  2. let the connections send data a lil bit

  3. kill the fleshneuron that the synthneuron has replaced

  4. move on to replacing the next fleshneuron
