For each computation, there exist an infinity of valid

realize the conscious moment. For 1st POV, you only live a
moment once... be it run a million times, it wouldn't change
that from your POV, you'll only ever live it once. If all of
them (the infinity of equivalent implementation) compute the
exact same thing that thing from itself is unique... we have
the starting hypothesis that consciousness emerges from
computations, so if it's the exact same moment, it's the
exact same moment computed an infinity of time, but from the
POV of you of the "owner" of that moment, that moment only
exists *once* will always be unique from his POV (that's the
1st person point of view, that point of view is always
singular and unique).
So exact copies are also part of that computed moment. So the
MGA fails.
? I do not follow... what is failing ?
MGA and Olympia's from Maudlin, are just showing Physical Supervenience
is failing... so what do you mean by MGA fails ?
The copy on the film, as it is replayed, is just another computation in
the infinity of valid implementations of that conscious moment. So the
argument does not go through. Besides, it was only ever an argument from
incredulity, never a logical argument.
