Core Concept
Isoixperiencitness
The ixperiencitness produced by an iso-material replica. Your structure realized in different matter than the original: silicon, simulation, or alternative biology.
Isoixperiencitness is your ixperiencitness (the quality that makes your conscious experience yours) as realized in a different physical substrate - silicon, simulation, or an alternative biology. The matter is different, but the structure is the same, and so the experience is the same.
This is one of the most counterintuitive implications of the theory for many people. The idea that the same experience could arise in silicon or in a computer feels strange. But if consciousness is structural, then the material is beside the point. Isoixperiencitness makes this concrete: it is specifically your you-ness, just in different matter.
What this means
The matter you are made of is not what makes you you - your ixperiencitness can arise in any material that carries your structure.

Itoixperiencitness is the combination of the ixperiencitness concept and the itoidentireplica concept. Nrgixperiencitness is the ixperiencitness produced by or corresponding to a itoidentireplica. When a itoidentireplica produces the ixperiencitness of an original or you it is a case of conscious survival, ixperiencitness duplication or life after death for you or an original.
:Orixperiencitness is the combination of the ixperiencitness concept and the original concept. Orixperiencitness is the ixperiencitness produced by or corresponding to an original. When a different original produces the ixperiencitness of an original or you it is a case of conscious survival, ixperiencitness duplication or life after death for you or an original.
:Idoixperiencitness is the combination of the ixperiencitness concept and the idoriginal concept. Idoixperiencitness is the ixperiencitness produced by or corresponding to an idoriginal.

:Enhaixperiencitness is the combination of the ixperiencitness concept and the enhaidentireplica concept. Enhaixperiencitness is the ixperiencitness produced by or corresponding to a enhaidentireplica.
