The only question that remains: Where did the neural energy come from?!
Full marks for detail and sources.

My main issue is that without "neural energy" how does Riker-clone have an operational mind and or memories?

I always took the term "neural energy" to mean simply "the delicate energy pattern that is the identifiable manifestation of your thoughts".

I mean, Data and Lor appear to have "neural energy" and they would certainly seem to be able to pass a Turing test.

From your description it sounds like you believe that without "neural energy", the "physical pattern" would simply be a crash test dummy?

Indeed physical continuity is the key to why I do not wish to be transported. The pattern (often referred to in episodes centering around transporter technology as a plot device) is only the recipe and when someone is transported they are not the same cake.
Have you seen the 2006 movie "The Prestige"?

It covers this territory quite well, I think you'd enjoy it.
Also, the 2016 tv series "Travelers".

I'm an avid reader of O'Brien at work. Very hilarious.

My main issue is that without "neural energy" how does Riker-clone have an operational mind and or memories?
I'll address the "operational mind" part lower down, but for the memories, Lonely Among Us establishes that the physical pattern restricts this. When Picard is reformed, his memory of the encounter is determined by the time stamp of his physical body.

RIKER: Sounds like our Captain. 
TROI: But confused. This Picard pattern was formed before he went out there. 

I always took the term "neural energy" to mean simply "the delicate energy pattern that is the identifiable manifestation of your thoughts".
Ah, but what does "identifiable manifestation of your thoughts" mean? In reality, your thoughts are little more than the physical arrangement of the neurons of your brain. They cannot exist separate from that. In Star Trek, it seems that your thoughts can exist independent of your brain.

I mean, Data and Lor appear to have "neural energy" and they would certainly seem to be able to pass a Turing test.
Perhaps they do, it might be that any sufficiently advanced "mind" will give birth to this neural energy. But it's clear that the neural energy is not dependent on the mind. Data's brain can certainly house humanoid neural energy (Schizoid Man, Power Play) but we don't know if the opposite is true.

From your description it sounds like you believe that without "neural energy", the "physical pattern" would simply be a crash test dummy?
Maybe, or it may simply be an automaton. The Spock-body minus Spocks-katra (arguably Spock's "neural energy") in "The Search for Spock" had some base level of operation, but was born from scratch. A Riker-body created with all of Riker's memories might have enough complexity to give a sufficient simulation of life.

Neural energy sounds horribly dualistic and vitalistic to me.  I say that if a brain has all its atoms in place and moving correctly then it will produce thoughts without having to add 'neural energy' to it.   'NE' seems like techo-babble for 'soul' and I am against souls because I am an atheist bigot (according to PW, anyway).

If "neural energy" can "pass-through" a machine (teleporter) and be "redirected" and or "sent to the wrong place" then it is detectable and identifiable scientifically.

If "neural energy" is scientifically detectable and identifiable, then it is not some "dualistic" substance.

It seems more plausible that it is a particularly delicate and complex energy configuration.

I don't see why a dualistic substance can't be detected in a fictional universe. But it is clearly a different kind of energy that exists in reality.

The fundamental flaw in the dualistic hypothesis is -

(IFF) there is more than one type of matter and or energy that is fundamentally distinct from so-called "normal" matter and energy (THEN) these distinct types of matter and or energy could not possibly interact with each other (AND) as such would be mutually exclusive and fundamentally undetectable to each other.

Conversely,

(IFF) there is more than one type of matter and or energy that is somewhat (but not fundamentally) distinct from so-called "normal" matter and energy (THEN) these somewhat distinct types of matter and or energy could conceivably interact with each other under special conditions (AND) as such would not be mutually exclusive and could interact with each other BECAUSE of a fundamental similarity shared between the two.

If the hypothetical types of matter and or energy are not fundamentally distinct, then monism is (apparently) true.

In other words,

Types of matter/energy are either fundamentally distinct and therefore undetectable to each other (dualism).

Or,

Types of matter/energy are fundamentally similar and therefore detectable to each other (monism).

Neural energy is nonsense.

There is the biological pattern via gravitational worm-hole/tube that is dis-assembled and reassembled as closely as possible to the original.  Will there be memory loss?

Duhh, all animals have varying degrees short and long term memory loss.  Any biological transporter will never be a perfect, operationally.

> Left - right duality ---includes spin, orbit and mirror image of self realized

> inside-out and outside-out duality not same as left - right duality

> concave negative - convex postive

You're completely off-topic.

Monism does not = monopolar.

Dualism is functionally identical to and logically indistinguishable from monism.

Monism is what we have evidence of.

Dualism (even if hypothetically true) is axiomatically impossible to have evidence of.

Have you been prescribed medicine for mental issues in the past?

Here is first Universal dualism that you have yet to grasp, much less accept or acknoledge as truth.

1} macro-infinite non-occupied space,

2} finite, occupied space Universe.

Bru7, you have some good rational, logical common sense on many issues but not this one of them. Go figure.

Everyone here is jabbering, including you.  When you want to offer a rational, logical common sense reply to anything Ive stated, please do.

You ego based mental issues  block your abilities to do so.  Very typical of many at DDO and DArt. Place your ego to the side and open your closed mind and address my question posed to you repeatedly. You cant do it because of your ego.

Ahh, also consider this. I read of studys regarding spontaneous people waves in sports stadiums that apparrently were more popular during the 80's.

The study found that a spontaneous wave only  occurred, or most often occurred when 25 or more people were attempting to initiate the wave.

So perhaps there exist a numerical set  of nervous system like-minded,  entanglement-like occurrences before the so called 'free will' can occur.

So the question becomes can humans transfer data without a higher frequency carrier wave?

The problem is that gravity (  ) --and most likely dark energy )(---  is not focusable whereas EMRadiation is. Ex laser beam is focused { entrained photons }.

Ergo humans cannot harness gravity (  ) or dark energy )( as they can EMRadiation /\/\/. Therein lies the problem of dissassembling here, teleporting and reassembly there with no loss or very little loss of the original pattern. I dunno as I'm just a handy-man and philosopher.
