what do you mean by co-incarnation

I am a today re-incarnation of yesterme. Tomorrow, I'll be a re-incarnation of today-me.

It works this way, very well. I could even die and be recreated, there is no natural law against that. That would be a proper reincarnation, wouldn't it be? I mean, Alcor promises it.

Well, but I could also be split into two or more. Those would be co-incarnations.

How else should we call it?
