But you're assuming the copy is in an evironment equivalent this
world.
If the universe is infinite and not just huge then a finite
distance away there *IS* a Bruce Kellet in a world with a radius of
13.8 billion light years identical to the Bruce Kellet in our world.
In fact there are a infinite number of them.

Suppose this Bruce Kellet copy were in a world just like this
EXCEPT that everybody in his world knew him as John Clark?

Prove it! And I mean *prove*, not just wave your hands a bit.
A proof is simple if you are willing to bet that you are not actually
infinite, although John Clark would not accept it, but this is only by
ignorance of definition. I mean, it is provable that an infinity of
copy of you are emulated correctly by the arithmetical reality, which
is already assumed in all theory on a possible physical reality.
Yes. I didn't expect that you could prove it either. And it has nothing
to do with whether I am actually infinite or not. You do not seem to
understand that physical theory is not physics, nor yet the physical
world. What you can prove in arithmetic still has to be demonstrated to
be applicable to the physical world. And this you singularly fail to do.
