The document discusses the concept of "digital immortality" (DI) which aims to reconstruct a person's identity based on indirect data captured about them. It proposes that by analyzing a person's input data (what they sensed) and output data (their reactions), one could theoretically simulate their brain and restore their structure and functioning. However, current technology is not advanced enough to do full identity reconstruction from indirect data alone. The document suggests focusing on developing tools to directly capture data about individuals through sensors, with the goal of applying that data to future DI efforts once algorithms and computing power are more advanced.

13. And if you come back to earth ...
Today's real actions to reduce:
1) Development, implementation and debugging of methods and tools for
effective archiving different forms of data about yourself.
2) Justification of the need to maintain information about themselves on a
series of reasons, propaganda application, formation of positive attitude,
market formation, feasible to ensure the possibility of recording.
3) Selection and development of highly effective use of data stored as long-
term memory - "digital cribs", "photographic memory" and e.t.c.
4) A feasible design, selection, constructing and optimization of hardware for
capture of data stream and output of captured data.
5) The use of the collection of all available information about cryopatients
archiving to improve the accuracy of reconstruction of the individual in the
future.
6) Possible assistance in ensuring DI for the people around them.
