That looks nice. So now, I ask to you, and to everybody a question,
which is important, and still open although I do have some opinion/hint.
You are in Helsinki, and you are scanned and annihilate as usual, and
(3p)-duplicate in three exemplars: one is reconstituted in W and two
in Moscow. You are told before, in Helsinki, that in Moscow, the two
exemplaries are in the exact same state and environment, and that this
will last forever (they will never 1p differentiate).
In what sense are they "two"? Do they have exactly the same
point-of-view? You say they are in the exact same state and
environment. So is the environment the same? Is it the same at the
quantum level? The same quantum interactions with cosmic rays, etc?
I think Leibniz's identity of indiscernibles applies. But Leibniz
didn't know about quantum mechanics and superposition of states.
