Ship of Theseus
2 comments

Afaik Ship of Theseus is replacing parts incrementally until eventually no part is from the original ship. This is more like taking the ship, building an exact copy of it and then throwing away the original ship. Not sure that thought experiment is applicable.
Integrate your brain into a machine then gradually replace it.
If you do battle with the scramblers and you blow up your anti-matter stockpile, do you even have any ship left?
