>For me, the only form of "afterlife" that makes sense is pretty material: your constituents and energy break down and are taken up in other things or beings, so that at some point basically everything constitutes everything else. Obviously there are some states that are more mobile than others - some situations might leave your pieces locked up in a relatively small space, like being embalmed and buried in a concrete tomb, or even the relatively limited circulation between Earth and solar system. I like the idea of sky burial or being eaten by a large predator/scavenger so as much of me stays consolidated as possible, but that's a fool's errand anyway I guess. I sometimes think that use/ownership of or proximity to items, places, etc. might impart a piece of the "soul", but I don't really know where I land on that part. I do think everything inanimate or animate has a special signature that it marks others with
What about the idea that the universe is a simulation? Or acts as a giant computer?

In that situation, "saved" takes on a whole new meaning. And being isekaied (or planeswalking) would just mean switching to a different server. It's also explain a wide range of mysterious phenomena (unpatched exploits, file fragments, etc)
