I'm using fork in the Linux or Unix sense.

That is, I create a copy of myself (usually in VR) and have it go learn
something, or have some experience, or do some work, then I merge that
copy's experiences into my primary memory. At that point, the purpose of
the copy is finished, and its' execution can be terminated. This is
essentially killing a copy of yourself.

Does that make slightly more sense?
