… some stage of the UD computation (UD*) seen from the first person point of 
view.

That explains (and predicted) the non cloning of matter, as any piece of matter 
requires the indeterminacy on all computations, which is not something Turing 
emulable a priori.

Yes. It is “personal time”, a first person construct.

It is the infinite set of all computations bringing the first person experience 
of the consistent extension of your current state (defined indexically). In the 
Helsinki WM experience, it would be the computation getting the input W and the 
computation getting M, in their vast majority, but of course it contains also 
the aberrant continuations, hopefully in a negligible set, which remains to be 
seen (but the material modes suggests already that this could very well be the 
case).
