The key to questions for survival of death and immortality for an individual are : Do I experience this consciousness?, Will I experience this consciousness?, and Did I experience this consciousness. What if many different people can say I experience a particular consciousness or the consciousness that a person is experiencing? The physical approach believes in the concept that it is physical continuity that determines what a person is. A person is an actual object that exists through time has a beginning around birth and an end around death. what make that person not someone else is a continuous physical body and a core psychology. A person will also be one that lives until he dies no matter how long that person lives. With the proper science and technology a person could live for a very long time. During that time the person could be exposed to many different experiences if fact all of them if he lived long enough. Another thing science and technology could do would to gradually change the structure of the brain and body. Gradually you could change to all other brain structures and experience all experiences again. These structures could be identical to that of other people that do have or will exist. According to the physical perspective it will be the same person. What kind of situation do we have when the two identical functioning and structure do intersect. This does not have to occur by way of science and technology nature may just repeat itself in producing two individuals that have identical structure and functioning. There two different persons but can we say that he experience this other consciousness
They may try to go around this by saying that their core psychology changes at some point so this is a different person but they can not say that this is a different body. Where and how did you loose yourself?
The same physical person changes into a different person. It is still the same person but this “new” person looks and talks and acts and knows exactly what the other knows in fact they believe that they both believe are the individual in question.
How does this new person come into existence and when does the old person go out of existence. The identireplica theory does not have a problem with this because it says that the same
Does the physical theory have a problem with two identically functioning human bodies having the same consciousness? Or does it say that two structurally and functionally identical bodies have the same consciousness. Or does it allow the for two different bodies with the same consciousness with out being a case of survival in another person.
What if an awarepath is survival for more than one different person does this make it a case where they are versions of each other. Stated in another way if we have a situation where there are two different people that produce awarepaths that are not versions of each other -- they are not a case of survival for each other, but there is a person that has a different awarepath that is a case of survival for each. Is this possible? How could it be possible? It might be possible if they are marginally version of each other and the third person is an over lapping of the correct aspects of each.
