if you gradually convert the neurons in your brain to digital information, at what point are you no longer you and you're just a copy of your former self?

that is, what specific quantity and arrangement of neural mapping is paramount to your own cognitive awareness? and if you can make a neural network with a digital interface that is gradually copying the neural maps in your head, how is this different from the plasticity which would overwrite your existing maps? can it not just be seen as a movement of mappings and not a destruction and copy?

I ask because i postulate that digitizing a person is a structural issue not a conscious-metaphysical one, however i can't tell whether or not you have just simply "moved" a person or you destroyed them.

Can you from a scientific model distinguish destroying someone and recreating them translated, planck unit by planck unit, in an arbitrary axis, from them simply moving?
