If a brain can't feel the split when its duplicated, and I agree it
can't, then EVERYTHING (my capitalization) was so successfully
duplicated that what the 2 brains were doing, mind, was identical. So
although there are 2 brains there is only 1 mind. It is only when the
matter in the 2 brains starts to be arranged differently, such as
would happen the instant the doors were opened and they saw different
things, that 2 minds emerge where only 1 was before.
Is that even relevant. Brains are presumably psuedo-classical objects.
But they can't be strictly classical, so it seems likely that it is
impossible to exactly duplicate a brain. So there will be a quick
diveregence at the quantum level and that will eventually (30sec ?) be
amplified to some classical/computational difference. But no matter how
great the difference there's no reason to suppose "the split" will be
"felt".
