In my current understanding, after studying material from some "consciousness explorers (Waldo Vieira, Joshua David Stone, Ingo Swann, George King, Edgar Cayce, Jane Roberts, Dolores Cannon, Robert Monroe, and others)", consciousness is a multilayer and very very complex system.

Some of those layers reside in the brain, some exist independently from the brain and remain for eternity even after the brain shuts down.

In that sense there is no paradox at all. The machine would only be able to copy a few "layers" of consciousness. The resulting copy of you would be an empty shell because the "master layers" can't be copied, as they're made of "data" that isn't "finite".

Just my view. This is not absolutely verified by Science, and for me, it will take a long time to happen. Even then, there are some scientific experiments that validate, in part, this view: Controlled astral projection experiments, controlled remote viewing experiments etc.
