[MURG] freezing brains

[Mitchell Porter]

>freezing brains would not save the waves of waves in the Brain.

Whether you mean matter waves or electromagnetic waves, both
would still be present in a frozen brain. It's still the same atoms,
bound by the same forces, just in a lower energy state. If Joe's
philosophy is right, and everything important is encoded structurally,
then you only need to worry about structural damage during the
freezing process. If there *is* important information in field states
or many-body wavefunctions or what have you, then you also need
to worry about phase transitions in that medium; you would want
to trace a path through its phase diagram that minimized information
loss. But I don't think you can say a-priori that no such path exists,
when we have so little knowledge of such things.
