​Regardless of how many bodies there are after duplication before the door
of the duplicating chamber is opened and they start to experience different
things there is only one person so naturally there is only one first person
view;​

​after the door is opened there are many persons and a corresponding number
of views. ​

​Because after the door is opened there is no such thing as "*the* 1-view".​

 I don't understand the difference between ​ "3p view" and "3-1" view.

​If we had such access there would be no difference between objective
and subjective and it would all just be 1-view, but since we can't a
different name is required and it's called, in your homemade terminology,
"3p view". And I still don't understand the difference between ​"3p view"
and  "3-1" view. Do you?

​In other words a non-solipsistic interpretation. ​And I still don't
understand the difference between ​the 3 view and the 3-1 view.

​That may or may not be true depending on what you mean by "the guy", you
change it so often it's difficult to keep track.

​I do not assume "comp".​

​Don't be ridiculous, nobody on planet Earth is confused by the difference
between the first person and the third person, but everybody on planet
Earth is confused by the difference
 between ​the 3 view and the 3-1 view
​, and nobody is more confused than Bruno Marchal.​

​Those damn diaries again! The diaries are useless after the duplication
unless the person who wrote them could be unambiguously identified and you
can't do that; and even if you could it would only tell you if a prediction
turned out to be right or not, it would tell you nothing about the nature
of consciousness.    ​

​There is no purely logical reason to make coffee or not to make coffee,
but
people who enjoy being alive
​and
are good
​at
hypothesizing what the future will be like
​ are more likely to
 pass more of their genes into the next generation than people who
​don't enjoy life and aren't good ​at making plans for the future. So you
prepared that coffee because you have some of those genes.

​I agree it most certainly is, but

​Yes, and more important the answer was given in Helsinki too, if the
question was asked in Moscow the answer would be different. The Moscow Man
did not see Washington, but the Helsinki Man did, The Washington Man did
not see Moscow, but the Helsinki Man did. ​

​You you and you! Even at this late stage Bruno Marchal just can't stop
using that god damn ambiguous personal pronoun!​

​Before the duplication John Clark knew that the guy who intercepts photons
from Moscow will become the Moscow Man. After the duplication John Clark
​intercepts photons from Moscow and knows he became the Moscow Man. What
new has been learned, what bit of new information has been generated?

​John Clark refuses to say anything
​more ​
about "you" until Bruno Marchal reveals what "you" means today. It might be
helpful to do that in the first line of every
​ new​
post.   ​

​*Yes.​*


 The M-guy looks at his path and remember being the H-guy.

​*Yes.*​

​The W-guy and the M-guy can't refute anything because the prediction
wasn't made about them, it was made about the H guy. ​

​Of course there is
first person subjective indeterminacy
​! ​My point was that there was no new type of f
irst person subjective indeterminacy
​ independent of the Quantum Mechanics type and of the Godel/Turing type
discovered 90 years ago.
