Stathis,
thinking about this way (which I did when reading Egan's Permutation
City) is indeed problematic - because then you would also have to let
consciousness supervene on Lucky Alice (the one from MGA), right down to
Super Lucky Alice (Alice which is "made" anew for every state through

I don't succeed in finding my Steinhart book. I don't either find the
book on the net, and I begin to doubt it is a book by the same
Steinhart. I have some doubt that "my Steinhart" has "Eric" as first
