The proposed model

Goal of Life

Proposed Model: imagine a transhumanist transferring consciousness to a replaceable synthetic substrate — life's goal is keeping that consciousness healthy, its readout the body's natural fragrance, which changes with lifestyle

Bridge — Natural body fragrance as a lifestyle-malleable indicator of substrate/consciousness health (the corpus's scent spine)

The proposed modelSpeculative

The mystical reading

The reading beneath the claim.

As elaborated on HemiDeus, the Jewish mystics — akin to Transhumanists — suggest God wished to dwell in the level of what we experience as our lives (hence creation); God shares our experiences, joys and pains. "To understand God, try to understand a woman first." We are living diffusers that ought to emit a pleasant fragrance — in an oversimplified poetic manner, maybe we determine how the quantum soup smells — building a harmonious world where our Creator can enjoy our shared joy
