Whether "I" runs on a Baudrilliard machine is orthogonal to whether a copy of "I" is still "I" to "I" - and why would it be, with no shared sensorium? - which is the point I'm making.

Elementary indistinguishability is orthogonal and I'd like to say it's kinda basic for the level at which this conversation is operating, but there's so many unexamined assumptions and so much consciousness chauvinism flying around in here, who knows what's too basic to be worth mentioning.
