I propose “neurome” for the total state of a human. From the physical to the cognitive, the entirety that must be captured and transferred if one wants to use the resurrection trope.

Naming it helps me contemplate how big that pre-trope step has to be. And it’s usually just ignored with handwavium.

@BenHM3 Although I fully agree, I would also add the thought that you don't need an exact replica, there is some wiggle room to it. Like you can meet someone at 3pm or at 5am and still recognize they are the same person.
On that same reasoning, when you meet someone you don't know exactly how many cells their body has and what each of them is precisely doing. So to a certain (relatively small) degree you could just wing it. You don't need to teleport an exact quantum state of each particle.
