I find comfort in this idea: people don’t die because their thoughts, mannerisms and insights live on. But I was thinking about how everything that is living is constantly changing and reacting to change and I wonder has this principle impacts the idea of life in the deceased.  Can they still adapt in some way or must they be incorporated into the minds of vehicles that still can change (living people) in order to do so? And if that’s the case, would that mean that they’ve become something else?  To take a step back, does the Library of Babel keep expanding because it’s contents keep adding onto other contents… and what then of the idea that the original contents are still “living”?
