I know, and that's why that personal pronoun is ambiguous
Only because you forget the 1-3 difference. There is nothing
ambiguous, as you know in Helsinki that you will survive one and
unique with a probability one. So the 3-1 you will be in both places,
and the 1-1 you will be one and unique in both places, and so the 1-1
you will be either in Washington, or in Moscow.
and that's why any "question" containing such a word is not a
question at all, it's gibberish with a question mark. If "I"
designates the M guy experience in Moscow AND "I" also
designates the Washington guy experience in Washington then
asking what one and only one thing "I" in Helsinki will do after "I"
step into a "I" duplicating machine is just ridiculous, and
assigning probabilities to those actions is just asinine.
Not at all, as both copies will always confirmed as explained in the
preceding posts. It became gibberish only because you forgot that in
Helsinki, you know in advance that whatever you will feel to become,
it can only be one 1-1 I in one city. The 1-3 difference transforms
the ambiguity into an indeterminacy.
