Nobody would say that they have stopped to exist when they have a headache. “You are defined” by all your psychological traits. Memories, character, personality, etc. With mechanism, there is some level of description of your body where this in invariant, so that it makes sense to survive through a digital brain or body transplant. I don’t understand why you say that when a duplication is possible, “you” are not well defined. “You” is just fuzzy. The 3p-you is well defined (if not there is no duplication making sense), and the 1p you is well defined, by all all persons who have conserved the relevant memories, character, etc, which exists by definition of the mechanist hypothesis.
