So if Bruno's machine needs to be perfect or it won't be you then your chair needs to be perfect too or those 6.02*10^23 collisions of gas molecules are going to turn you into a different person every nanosecond. > >> > it could take infinite precision to have you, a copy not done with that precision would think it is you while it's not > > > And maybe even though you remember being Quentin Anciaux yesterday you're not *really* Quentin Anciaux.

Well..., I certainly can't say you're wrong about that but it's not very useful now is it. And it's true, I try hard not to use the word "computation" in defining computationalism.
What a joke... why using computationalism if what you mean is materialism and you don't give a damn about computations ?
