I know you like scientific sounding words like "protocols" but all the peas in the world can't save "What one and only one city will I see from *THE* 1p after I am duplicated and become 2?" from being gibberish. No amount of peepee can put a shine on that poopoo. > > > You keep saying "the question is not precise", but you dismiss the > precision > There is ZERO precision. The fundamental problem is there is not even the hint of a explanation of what "Your one and only one future 1p" means if Mr. You is about to enter a you duplicating machine. And that's why peepee is poopoo. > > See any of my previous explanation of 1p and 3p, > I've been reading them for years and doing so again won't help, they've been either circular, self contradictory, or just meaningless gibberish due to the use of personal pronouns with no referent. Another problem is you treat the future the same way you treat the past, but the two things are different. > > > and if you don't undersand, ask a question. > OK I'll ask a " question " , what is the name of the one and only one city I will see from my one and only one " *THE* 1p " after I have become 2? You can't answer that, not because you don't know the answer but because the answer does not exist before duplication , AND IT NEVER WILL EXIST, not even after duplication. And the reason there will never be a n answer is there never was a question. > > the point is that the H-man cannot know which of the W-man or the M-man he > will find himself to be in the first person sense > Pure, triple distilled, extra virgin, 100% gibberish. You ask "which" and that means you want one and only one answer, but the H-man is about to be duplicated, so nobody can answer that "question" before the duplication AND NOBODY CAN ANSWER IT AFTER THE DUPLICATION EITHER. The H-man cannot know the meaning of gibberish because gibberish has no meaning. > > > with not an atom of ambiguity, just an indeterminacy. > So "he" can't predict what city "he" will be in after the duplication, fine, but who is "he"? If "he" is the Moscow man or the Washington man then it's true they can't predict it, because neither of them existed before the duplication. If "he" is the Helsinki man then "he" CAN predict that the Washington man will be the one that sees Washington and the Moscow man will be the one that will see Moscow, I admit that's not very profound but it is nevertheless true and there is nothing more to predict. But what about "THE 1p" I hear you say, that can't be predicted. Well that's true, there is no way to predict it if the Moscow man or the Washington man will get "THE 1p" if Mr. The1p has just gone threw a THE 1p duplicating machine because then there is no such thing as THE 1p, there is only A 1p. NEWS FLASH: I have just discovered, drum roll please, Tomato Indeterminacy! There are 2 identical red tomatoes in front of you but you are unable to pick up the one and only one red tomato in front of you. How deep!

It's always the same , in all "explanations" Bruno Marchal either uses personal pronouns o r peepee, and neither has a particle of meaning in a world with people duplicating machines. When pressed Bruno Marchal defines pronouns in terms of peepee and peepee in terms of pronouns, and round and round we go. > > > drink a cup of coffee with certainty (modulo all default hypotheses, and > assuming of course that a cup of coffee will be given to both copies)? > Explain who you want information about and I'll give you an answer. Do you want to know about the coffee drinking habits of people who remember seeing Helsinki only? Or people who remember seeing Helsinki and Moscow? Or people who remember seeing Helsinki and Washington? Or people who remember being John Clark? Or people who remember something else? I'm not being pedantic, if both the future and people duplicating machines are involved then these are essential distinctions or gibberish awaits. For example, if Mr. He means people who remember being in Helsinki only then Mr. He will drink no coffee at all, if Mr. He means John Clark then Mr. He will drink coffee in Moscow AND Washington.
