    Hm.

    A spate of Devil's advocacy: If we don't know the process, we can't
    say it is likely to cause a lot of decoherence =)

    And if I get all Kurzweilian about it, I could leverage the Law of
    Accelerating Returns:
    When I grow up, I simply invent the Kulakovich Komplete Electron
    Entanglement Machine or KEEM and we'll entangle ALL the electrons
    in the brain at once.

    Thereby the message is the medium: The checksum is complete because
    the entanglement process is the upload.

    It's a thought. And it's entangled at that.
