So you dare to insist on this? You are just repeating for the nth times (n big) your deliberate confusion between the 1p-you and the 3p- you.





What one and only one meaning does the word "YOU" have in the preceding sentence? Who is the one and only one referent?


In W, and in M, they both acknowledge that they can only write W, or write M in the personal diary they can immediately access, and not both. Both agree that they did survive in only one place, so they will do a better prediction next times, which is W v M, with an exclusive "or", and indeed the majority of the 2^n copies after the experiment is iterated n times agrees with this, where none can agree with "seeing, in the 1p sense, two cities.

The referent of "you" becomes unclear only because you decide to abstract from the 1-3 distinction, which of course is a manner to eliminate the person contents of the person memories, which is akin to the usual and known person elimination of the materialist.
