Yes, both brains have a single identical perspective.

Yes, both would recall identical things.

Only the part about "there are two people", there are two bodies but
only one conscious person in that symmetrical room because if you
swap their positions subjectively there is no difference and
objectively there is no difference so it's not much of a jump to
conclude there is no difference between them.
But then there's only one room and one body, per Leibniz's identity of
indiscernibles.
This is similar to Feynman's idea of why all electrons are identical:
there is only one electron which appears multiple because it zig zags
back and forth in time as well as space. Unfortunately we don't know
what statistics consciousness obeys.
Hi Brent,
Is there any reason why it would be any different? Just consider
that the electron is conscious and has a 1p... The same measures should
result. Why is consciousness so mysterious?
Onward!
