​I do expect to survive the copying process​, even better I expect I'll have a backup, although why my expectations should be of interest to anyone but me I don't know. ​

You would have understood this since long he you could move to the next steps.

But for this you need to just answer the question about what the Helsinki guy can expect for his (his = the Helsinki guy) future *subjective experience*. The explanation will be that the whole science of physics will need to be a statistics on first person experience supported by the computations emulated in Arithmetic. That statistics can be made mathematically precise, (the pronouns are handled by the second recursion theorem) so this makes the computationalist hypothesis experimentally testable.
