But in general it's not true that they will perceiving different things , if you were the identical copy and in a symmetrical environment and facing your original the two of you would see identical things, and if your position was instantaneously exchanged with the original there would be no change in your consciousness or of that of the original, neither of you could even tell an exchange had occurred. So in that situation how could it make sense to talk of " two different consciousnesses" when there is clearly no difference between them?
