Jason,
O, for God's sakes! You believe souls exist? I thought this was
supposed to be a scientific forum!
I guess *you* take seriously some theory of soul, to be so sure that
it does not exist, or could not have any sense.
"soul" is often used to denote the first person part of the person
(owning body (and bodies)).
With computationalism, you can somehow save your soul on a disk. Of
course, in term of the first person, you only save the abstract
ability to manifest yourself in the local environment.
The soul is the mental private subjective "space".
It is also, arguably, the knower.

Richard and Stephen,
ER=EPR will have a hell of a time explaining the soul since the soul
doesn't exist!

How do you know it doesn't exist?

Yes. String theory is the great white hope. Lubos Motl even suggests
that ER=EPR may explain the concept of the soul.

you actually understand what it says or implies? Basically that
every quantum event that ever occured in the history of the universe
spawns an entire new universe of all its possible outcomes and every
event in every one of those new universes does the same. This
immediately exponentially escalates in the first few minutes of the
universe into uncountable new universes and has been expanding
exponentially ever since over 14.7 billion years! Just try to
calculate the
