Really? That method seems almost identical to uploading Hermione.

In our world Tulpas are mental entities that are somehow self aware.

If you create a Tupla inside your head that's modeled on your friend Alice that died, I wouldn't say that you have ressurected Alice. You have a thoughtform in your head that behaves like you think Alice would behave but it's no real Alice. It's not as good as a real upload.
