In arithmetic, due to the Oracles (Turing), the number of copies is infinite, and probably bigger or equal to 2^aleph_0. Now, it could even be much bigger, like a large cardinal, or even a large large cardinal (like the cardinal of Laver, which would provides a short cut to the extraction of the physical laws, and in particular impose a quantum topology on the apparent primary matter below our substitution level).
