Biodata-print

A biodata-print was a form of duplicated consciousness, described by the Bookwyrm as a "kind of four-dimensional photograph of [someone]'s brain". As part of their programme of interviewing eyewitnesses to historical events in order to gauge the accuracy of the historical texts within the Plume Coteries' Library, they would Time-Ladle up these individuals at the point of death, take a biodata-print of their minds, then return their bodies to their allotted point of death while uploading the biodata-print to a holo-cube.
