Yes, that wasn’t careful. In this context, I mean “no large shift of preference”. Tiny changes occur all the time (and are actually very important if you scale them up by giving the preference with/without these changes to a FAI). You can model the extent of reversibility (as compared to a formal computer program) by roughly what can be inferred about the person’s past, which doesn’t necessarily all has to be from the person’s brain. (By an algorithm in human brain I mean all of human brain, basically a program that would run an upload implementation, together with the data.)
