Supernatural and Atheism

[Belacqua]

If we liken the soul to the software in the hardware, when the software dies, it leaves the hardware but is not destroyed.

What are the particles that make a soul, and what are the particles that mediate interactions between those particles and the particles that make a body. The Standard Model is filling up fast.

Is software made of special particles? Or is it more of a form or system which determines the operation of the material?

Because most people since Aristotle have spoken of the soul as the form which determines what a particular bit of matter is and does. The soul is not itself matter (e.g. particles).
