Partial versions of you is a strange concept that seems to be predicted by awaretheory. Consciousness is strange in the sense that the more we know about consciousness the less it seems to fit our beliefs about it. Most people think about themselves as a complete consciousness produced by or connected to a body that maybe also connected to a supernatural concept like a soul. The body, consciousness, and soul being self contained, individualistic, and singular. Awaretheory proposes a theory that ties together complete consciousnesses to the structure and functioning of complete bodies. "Physipaths produce awarepaths." is a simple statement of this principle. It also states that simiphysipaths produce simiawarepathss. The insidentreplica principle is that physapaths and awarepaths can be nested with the same and with different ixperiencitnesses.

An analogy of this concept that shows how bizarre this is: imagine viewing a sunset there is a consciousness (simiawaresection) that you experience but you are also experiencing other aspects of your consciousness. You feel the sand on your feet, the warn air against your skin, the smell of the ocean, and sound of the waves. etc. Now imagine that the simiawaresection of the sunset alone is also expereinced by a different ixperiencitness as well as being experienced you.
