So Brent, when Bruno talks about "*HE*" or "*THE* first person perspective" what the
hell is Bruno talking about?
He is the guy in Helsinki. And "the" designates the unique experience, in one city,
which is accessible for "he", the guy which is presently in Helsinki whose first person
perspective will find himself in W, or in M, but never in both.
Maybe we should think about the alternative a little. Suppose a duplicated person is like
the Borg. After the duplication there are not two consciousnesses, one aware of Washington
and one aware of Moscow, but only one consciousness which is aware of both Washington and
Moscow. There is no logical contradiction in this, so why do we feel so confident it is
not the case? Isn't it because we assume that consciousness supervenes on the physics?
But sinces it's not a logical requirment, there are universes emulated by the UD with
physics which realize Borg-like consciousness. In fact we might be able to realize it
with suitable transponders emplanted in brains.
