Hi Liz >>Assuming comp it appears to be the state(s) that could follow on from your current brain state via whatever transitions rules are allowed by - I assume - logical necessity. Perhaps Bruno can explain.
let me ask a more round about question: you say that we see spin up every time 'if the definition of "you" has been changed to accommodate the fact that you've split' Changed from which definition? All the best Chris.

Well what definition of 'you' do you suggest we use? What is your criterion for identity over time? Assuming comp it appears to be the state(s) that could follow on from your current brain state via whatever transitions rules are allowed by - I assume - logical necessity. Perhaps Bruno can explain. With regards to Bruno's steps, at this point I actually don't feel I need a criterion myself. What I have instead is the yes-doctor assumption. In other words, whatever criterion is adopted it must satisfy the condition that whenever I am copied, destroyed and reconstructed somewhere else, the reconstruction IS me. Otherwise, unless suicidal, I would never say yes to the doctor. This is why I used to argue Bruno was hoist by his own petard because its his yes-doctor assumption that forces me to 'accommodate the fact that Ive split'. Indeed. I have mentioned at times that if you accept "Yes Doctor" the rest of comp follows. Which I realise isn't quite true, but that's the big leap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
