“Your body weighs exactly the same dead or alive.”
Weighs the same, sure, but is not exactly the same, yeah?

“So the something else is weightless or imaginary?”
Mebbe the sumthin’ more is ‘function’ not ‘subtance’.
Consider ‘walking’. Walking is what legs do. Walking is an action. Without legs there’s no walking.
Mind/self/I-ness/agency/personhood/free will might be the same: it’s what a particular and peculiar arrangement of matter ‘does’.
Call it nondeterministic (not random or limited or prescribed!) computation, if you like (I don’t).
