The problem with all this (as Kent makes explicit) is that there is nothing in the mathematics of the "game physics" that corresponds to this kind of momentary selection of subjective localisation. Unfortunately, his own proposal doesn't really solve the underlying problem, because although it can account, given the experimental situation, for my seeing spin-up and not spin-down (because the other doesn't objectively exist any longer) it cannot account for why the experience is of David making this observation rather than Brent
It does if you think experience is an epiphenomena of physics. Brent and David are different physical systems and only one is looking at the system.

, or indeed here rather than there, or now rather than then. Subjective localisation is simply assumed, or trivialised, as in Einstein's remark “The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion”.
