A hypothetical Port scenario (not suggestion, just scenario)

Sometimes when making port, there may be characters who fall overboard. Falling off the Barge causes a person to become integrated into the port world. As with breaches, they’ll have no memory of who they really are, and while overboard Inmates will generally still register on their Wardens' items, the location-finding functionalities may be a bit wonky (recalculating... recalculating...). Overboard characters will not be able to visit the Barge, nor will they have access to the Barge's network, and overboard Wardens will not have their Warden items.

So, if a port event were set in a plausible location in a character's world, but that same character from that world fell overboard, would this manifest as resetting to their canonpoint? Would the port location be set in a slightly different universe/point in time (meaning there could potentially be two versions of the character running about)?

I apologize if this is a weird question, and it's okay if it's ultimately not doable in the long run; this is just one of the things my brain will latch onto and laugh about if I stay up too late. :P
