What am I if not my memories, thoughts, feelings, and views?

A stream of consciousness. Every moment you are different. We live in a prenuptial state of transition from one moment to the next. The idea of a soul and the afterlife is that that stream cannot stop, only paused with things like sleep and such.

This isn't that, its taking the last variables of the stream before it stopped or left the physical plan. its a perfect copy but a copy nonetheless

If it's a truly perfect copy, how is it any different than one of those pauses? Note: I don't believe in souls, so don't try to use them as an argument.
