<p>Griefbots are digital representations of deceased individuals intended to replicate some aspect of their agential behaviour. It has been suggested that griefbots allow the represented individuals to survive death in some sense, but this possibility disagrees with popular theories of survival in the philosophical literature. This paper proposes a theory of survival that is consistent with the possibility of digital survival while maintaining plausibility in the sense of aligning with familiar theories in other cases. A degree-based private conativist theory of survival is proposed, on which the survival relation admits of degrees, and the degree to which survival obtains relative to each person depends on their person-tracking attitudes. On the proposed theory, griefbots afford survival insofar as they preserve the represented individual’s social relationships and people organise their person-tracking attitudes around this social continuity. Compared to alternative theories, the proposed theory more straightforwardly accounts for observed engagement patterns with griefbots.</p>
