I.E. What sub-atomic particles would comprise memory of sense-experience? Not a simple download, I imagine.
Removing a subatomic particle here or there has no impact on memory, just as it wouldn't make a bookshelf any less of one. It's irrelevant, and you've gone too far with reductionism.

The "records of sensory experience" are encoded by the properties of ion channels, synapses, populations of neurons etc., all of which are "physical". If you copy the former you have copied the latter.
I predict that there will never be an end to how far (sub-sub-sub atomic particles?) they break down atoms and to what practical point anyway?
