If there is a computation which connects the perspectives of those two people,
According to Bruno the prespectives are supported by an infinity of computational
threads. Suppose one of them connects the two perspectives and the (infinity-1) don't.
Does that mean they are the same person? Am I the same person as the 5yr old Brent
Meeker? Where is your proof that there is a computation connecting any two...what?
perspectives haven't been defined yet.
and you identify a person with that computation, then the they are the same
person.
Bruno and John Clark, who seem to agree on very little, agree that a person is to be
identified by his memories - which is not a computation.
