Historic Framing: Origins of the name.

During the forgotten times before space-flight, humans created the concept of the super Sargasso sea. This term described the fictional trope of a land where all things lost or forgotten end up.

Loose change under the cushions. That sock in the hamper missing its twin. Where did they go? They fell into the sea. 
When someone is lost in life or just aimlessly wandering, it's not uncommon to be compared to feeling "lost at sea."

When humankind first began traveling the frontiers of space, nobody knew this concept would become the basis for describing scientific breakthroughs in the nature of sentience and ethics of cloning.

Scientific Framing: The BranchResonance EffectHypothesis

The super Sargasso sea is defined as the "null-gradient field," a metaphysical space which overlaps the entirety of the known universe.

It's discovery was made when a senior professor discovered strange energy readings after performing tests with experimental bluespace-powered hospital equipment. The bluespace-crystalline sensors used during brain scans found resonatingerratic signalsstreams of energy pulsing from outside of the test subjects brain, seeping inward before fizzling out of detection. Further investigation found that these energy waves were only viewable after in the brains of sapientsapient, creaturesself-conscious thatcreatures.

Though not recognized as an authority on the subject, many refer to the resonance that comes from deaththe beyond

Of course, the unnerving nature of a metaphysical energy that drives sapient creatures has it's effect on some social structures. Nanotrasen has enacted new regulations which prohibit individuals sharing the same signal resonance from working on the same shift while the phenomena is being researched.

Educational & Philosophical writings on the subject are still being developed, but most share the same key principles:

• Resonance signals can be likened to the memories, subconscious or "Soul" of an individual.
• Two individuals with similar resonance signals can still be utterly different from each other.
• Cloning an individual is to "create a new node to pick up their previous resonance signal" or;
• Cloning an individual is to "craft a vessel able to house their previous soul."
  

Summary

Though the super Sargasso sea has opened many new avenues into research, simply discovering it has not altered our measurements of how people act.

A "soul" or resonance signal can be simplified to a stream of energy that pings between two or more people. The "sea" is a metaphysical space which these signals originate from.

While impossible to ever fully determine complete likeness in a clone, when the procedure is done professionally and with minimal to no errors, the clone almost always exhibits to have the same signal resonance as they had previously.

• A clone who exhibits complete memory & behavioral patterns of the original may be considered the same person.
• A clone who exhibits memory loss or changes in their biological makeup may be considered a different person.
