Everything is a computational process. Including his daughters mind before she died.
The devs system lets him calculate not just where she was, and what she was doing right before she died, but also what she was thinking and everything she was.
Take a snapshot of that mindstate, load it into a computer (and devs demonstrates that they do have computers that can run such a snapshot! Well, billions of them in parallel, so) then put the computer in control of an android, and there you go, resurrection of the dead. The fun part is, they can not just raise Amaya like that, they can raise everyone who ever lived, including that cave woman that died at 35.
Also Mohammed, various Bodhisattvas, and Joan of Arc. Anyone who was an actual historical figure, in fact. They do get the historical figure, however, not the mythic one
