What if the universe reset exactly Everyone and everything dies, all things end, etc. etc.
Then it resets. Everything repeats in the exact same order, all the way down to the subatomic level.
When you're born again, is that you, or is it not? "Your" life is exactly the same, the exact same experiences, etc. etc. "Your" thought process is the exact same, the neural pathways in "your" brain are the exact same, in fact "your" consciousness thinks and reacts the exact same way -- it's just "no longer the original but a perfect replica", ie. the consciousness currently reading this has long since died.
Is that "you" still you?

What you're attempting to ask I guess is if we could make a perfect clone down to the subatomic level with every atom in your body with the correct spin and charge, and with every memory in tact (spoiler you can't) then would it truly be you?
Short answer: No Long answer: Nnooooooooooooope not really

Under what circumstances can 'you' not be 'you' and what defines a person? If that makes any sense

no like all of the features and traits
the turing test defines a personality and being -- what defines a specific individual?

if the atoms making up both the bodies are the same then yes, its ''you''
if they are different then no, not you
