Identity Dissociation

Phenomenon that describes the memory divergence and later personality differentiation between two instances of the same person. Occurs with clones and with uploaded connectomes of a person after uploading. Religious people refer to this phenomenon as "soul-splitting".

Examples

 * When Dr. Lailah de la Fuente uploaded her brain state to the supercomputer Mother One, her uploaded self was dissociated from her, becoming a separate person known as Lailah-1.
 * When Lailah-1's memories were backed up after The Event into offline storage, the offline Lailah-1 was dissociated from the active version of herself, who later would be simply known as Mother.
