Could the soul/personality be the
pattern of something, for example, electrical currents or potentials?

At death there is a brief release of breath and poof… vanished. All electrical currents cease, the brain is dead/dies.
Can an electrical current just die? Can mass/energy just disappear? Does it have to become or be something else?

Yes, electrical current can just die.
Maybe computer memory is a good analogy. The soul/personality is the sum total of information stored on the RAM of the organic brain. Some types of RAM are volatile - as soon as you power down the computer, that information is lost.
