Using DNA To Reconstruct Physically Conscious Individuals?
We can use DNA to reconstruct individuals physically from their ancestors or descendants. I can't speak on the instantaneous physical demands of biological DNA/genetic reconstruction of a deceased individual from their ancestor or descendant.
But perceptually/consciously speaking, we would need to preserve the consciousness of the individual so they wake up and have a synchronous timeline of memories from their past, separated from a new present. To do this through DNA requires using the symmetry of the DNA itself—how it encodes a center. Perceptually speaking, it would work roughly along these lines: the center, the point of symmetry on which the inversion is done, is the moment when they are brought back. Every event past this point is reflected backward to communicate with a new past after the present they wake up from. This way, their memories before they wake up do not interfere with their new past-to-present ongoing experience of consciousness.
