OK but the point is that if cognition is running a programme, then it can be shown that the very notion of "running a program" and "embodiment" are necessarily relative notions. I do agree with you that a disembodied soul in your branche cannot have consciousness with respect to you and to your branch. But from the first perspective of any soul, the sould will survive in any computational history capable of relatively embodying it through some consistent history. And so we arrive at the 1-indetermincay comp measure problem.
