For me, the relationship is non-transitive.

If you tell me this will happen tonight, I would right now call both "me". Both of them after the event would agree that I am them. Both of them would agree they are different people to each other, even if they say so in perfect stereo unison.

This entire thread just has me wanting to watch The Prestige one more time.

Cue the "We are Bob" series, aka Bobiverse, by Dennis E. Taylor!

Was thinking more like John Crichton on Farscape, as Bob's copies diverge substantially and immediately, whereas John and his duplicate spend hours repeatedly drawing at rock paper scissors.
