# Digital Immortality **Domain:** Digital Afterlife / Culture / Continuity **Doc Type:** Canonical Concept **Maturity:** Developed **Evidence / Concept Status:** Public and regulatory discourse term ## Definition **Digital Immortality** is the broad idea that data, representations, agents, or reconstructed persons may allow some aspect of an individual to persist indefinitely in digital form. ## Continuity Significance The term is a public gateway but must be decomposed into archival persistence, replica persistence, executable continuity, and person-level continuity. ## Existing Architecture / Evidence CNIL explicitly discusses movement from digital death toward digital immortality in postmortem-data foresight. ## Evidentiary Boundary / Red-Team Note Indefinite data persistence is not immortality of consciousness. ## Cinematic Case [[wiki/The Congress (2013)|The Congress]] separates archival and replica persistence from person-level continuity: the market can keep an image young and generative without preserving the represented person's first-person life. ## Related Ontology [[wiki/Digital Afterlife|Digital Afterlife]] · [[wiki/Human Digital Remains|Human Digital Remains]] · [[wiki/Reconstructed Person|Reconstructed Person]] · [[wiki/Consciousness Continuity Infrastructure|Consciousness Continuity Infrastructure]] · [[wiki/The Congress (2013)|The Congress]] ## Sources / Provenance - https://cnil.fr/fr/cahier-ip-n10
