Multicid argument

From Aware Theory
Jump to: navigation, search

The multicid argument is based on the experiments with many different cidentireplicas. Cidentireplicas by definition have the same physapaths as does the original that they are replicated from. Because they have the same physapath they also have the same behaviorpaths as do each other or their original. One of the objections to the existence of a cidentireplica having the same ixperiencitness as does the original is that at any point on the physapath, that the cidentireplica is producing, can diverge from the physapath of the original because of varying external physical conditions or random quantum mechanical effects from within the body itself. The cidentireplica then becomes a variation of the original or what is called a videntireplica. When the videntireplica is very slightly different from the original or other cidentireplicas it can still function in a way that it produces the same behaviorpath as the original does. These kind of changes are like the rotation of a single atom in a single cell. If all such slight changes produced a radical change in the awarepath produced by a body then consciousness would be radically changing all of the time to the point of madness. Regularity of experimental results is what makes science and knowledge of the external world possible.
