How does computationalism alone guarantee that? It seems that it
relies on a lot of physical assumptions about the speed of light and
the physical instantiation of computations.
Computationalism alone *is* the belief that you survive through a
*physical* implementation of a computer in some state.
What is not assumed, is the 'primariness' of those physical notions.
Indeed, later we get that this primariness cannot work.
And once you bet on computationalism, and the correct choice of your
substitution level by the doctor, or by the teleportation engineer,
computationalism explains well why each copy see only once city. I
hope you see that, which at this step of the reasoning is the only
thing asked.
