That's a great answer but unfortunately it's NOT a answer to the
question John Clark asked, the question never asked anything about
"the 3p view", it was never mentioned. So John Clark will repeat the
question for a fifth time: how many first person experiences viewed
from their first person points of view does Bruno Marchal believe
exists on planet Earth right now?
1 (I already answered this, note).
from the 1-view, the 1-view is always unique.

No but the self duplicating machine in your thought experiment adds
nothing to our understanding of indeterminacy or of anything else,
it's just another useless wheel within a wheel.
Not at all. It proves (for the first time) the necessity of an
indeterminacy, brought by the comp 3p *determinacy*.
But no problem if you disagree, as that point is not in the topic.
Now that you do agree with the point of step 3, what is your take on
step 4?
