But that's far to high a standard. A machine that could duplicate everything about you, except your location in spacetime would satisfy computationalism. A machine that could duplicate everything about you as you were last year would be good enough. A machine that could duplicate you well enough that even your closest acquaintances could tell you from your duplicate would be consistent with computationalism
