experience is like as you progress through the duplicator. You enter
the duplicator - in Helsinki let's say the duplication chamber is
red, and you notice this. Then the duplication happens and you open
your eyes and the walls are now blue, since the chamber in Barcelona
is of course blue. Do you have any problem with any of this?
No, all the pronouns are crystal clear because no duplication was
involved, there was only one John Clark before and only one
John Clark after. But I don't see the point of the teleporter, an
airplane going from Helsinki to Barcelona would produce the
same result.
If that is the reason to throw out the mechanist 1p-indeterminacy,
then again, you will need to forbid the use of probability in the
quantum many-world. The possibility of meeting or not the copies does
not change the 1p experiences, or you add some magical influences at a
distance ...
