Yeah, if there's one thing about the UDA that seems like magic to me,
that's it -
how an infinity of emulations "condense" into a single conscious experience.
If they're identical, I guess you wouldn't be able to tell the experiences apart. They
would be "fungible", like the infinite identical copies that exist in the MWI prior to
branching / differentiation. So they would just be one experience, even if it was
generated an infinite number of times. I guess this is the "capsule theory" of identity,
like Fred Hoyle and "his pigeon holes and flashlight" view of consciousness in "October
the first is too late". From the viewpoint of the experiencer, it wouldn't matter if
millions of pigeon holes were identical, with identical notes in them, and others only
appeared once.
But might their number provide a kind of probability measure for the continuation of your
consciousness?

I think.
(I'm assuming it's the "infinity" part that's the problem...)
