What happens when two copies of the same person are made?
What is the minimum divergence between these “fleeting configurations” before the copy stops being a copy and is someone else? What is the minimum convergence before I become you?
Is it “you” if it’s a copy of your orientation 20 years ago instead of your last actual configuration?

They're both you, in the same way that you're the same person as 1 minute ago. > What is the minimum convergence before I become you? That seems extremely unlikely thermodynamically/informatically etc. > Is it “you” if it’s a copy of your orientation 20 years ago instead of your last actual configuration?
