Bruce, I do, however, believe there is some overlap among these knowledge workers, viz., some of their background knowledge. So I would take it you mean that they're optimized in terms of niche, each worker having something unique and valuable to offer at precisely the right moments, without a single fraction of a joule wasted. That's exciting synchronic/diachronic coordination. I only diverge somewhat in that I think functionalist theory is more probable (which entails the possibility of strong AI and biological-to-nonbiological transformations), although I'd still stake that identity uniqueness, however possibly divisible, is defined necessarily by spacetime points (e.g., go ahead and duplicate me.1, but then it's not permissible to kill either me.1 or me.2, at least not while either's awake!).
