The suggestion that the one consciousness could inhabit more than one physical

Or, indeed, that physics is not fundamental but derivative on consciousness.

This reminds me of Schroedinger. “The doctrine of identity can claim that it
is clinched by the empirical fact that consciousness is never experienced in
the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us even experienced more
than one consciousness, but there is no trace of circumstantial evidence of
this even happening anywhere in the world” (much more in "What is Life?")
I don't think Schrödinger was considering person duplicating machines.
He is using the normal transitive understanding of identity, which is
also under question in the duplication protocol.
