It is still unclear how horcruxes would fit into the HPMOR universe given the premise that souls do not exist.

Given the general transhumanist affinity for "uploading", it seems a lot easier to me.

Also, given all the references to "being in a story", "things working like they would in a story", etc, being in a virtual environment where code can be copied from a to b in a flash seems an obvious idea. McGongall's mind still works in a cat's brain.
