So you demand that the first person view of the Moscow man tomorrow predict today what will happen to him despite the fact that today the first person view of the Moscow man tomorrow *DOES NOT EXIST*! There is one property that every good oracle needs, and that is the property of existence, and the first person Moscow man of tomorrow doesn't have it in Helsinki today. I did warn you that you needed to think long and hard. > > *We need to ask the H-guy reconstitute in each city*[...] > Nobody can ask the H-guy anything unless yesterday before any of this started everybody agreed on exactly what "the H-guy" means, I have provided a clear unambiguous definition of that term but you have not. > > *and indeed, they both see one city*, > Asking "How many cities do you see?" would be a dumb question to ask. What you should ask is "Given our predetermined agreement about what the term means made before anybody was copied how many cities do you think the H-guy ended up seeing?". Depending on what the agreement was the correct answer could be zero or two or there was no agreement and thus there was no answer because there was no question, there was only gibberish.
