If 2 things never differentiate then they are identical in
every way and there is no way to tell if there is 1 thing or 2, so
it would be silly to say there are 2 . And it would remain true if
the thing in question is subjective experience. And it would be as
true for 1000 as it is for 2.
There is the possibility of differentiation even if it doesn't
occur. If you know you have been duplicated into 1000 red cubicles
and 1 blue cubicle, identical on the inside, you would bet that if
you opened the door your cubicle would be red.
Yes, but this is predicted too by the Y=II rule, as a differentiation
will occur.
The more difficult case is when you re-fuse into one person, or if the
red cubicles fuse.
