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.
Sure, like in Everett's formulation of QM, also.
