Brent,
I stopped a long time ago to read the 'transported' versions for
one reason:
if it is REALLY (only) a transport, it does not make a difference
whether "you" will CONTINUE in Moscow or in Helsinki, it is 'your'
undisrupted self. However, if it goes into a multiple existence
then - my problem is - what happens to the 'experience' of self1
while you consider yourself at self2 location? the self-s
inadvertently diverge so you cannot be both (or more).
In such case the 'pronoun' sindrom is valid. "YOU" are the "ONE"
passing several locations - accumulating continual experience upon
yourself (the 1) and if you happen to return to a former one, it
will not be "YOU".
I think the conclusion is that there is no "you" in the sense of
unique.
But there is: the content of all diaries determined each time, in all
situations, such a "you".
It's like talking about "the" dollar coin. If it's duplicated or
multiplied it's not unique and "you" is ambiguous - which is what
John Clark complains about.
Because John introduce "ambiguous" to avoid "indeterminate", but with
the definition of the 1-view, there is no ambiguity at all, just
indetermination. Ambiguity is taking care of by the 1-3 distinction.
