Love the thought experiment! Ok so I’m im following correctly, supposing my consciousness is a physical thing in the sense we understand it now, and time a

- It’s trippy, but the argument isn’t nessesary that they are networked together. The argument is that we have admitted our consciousness is replicatable right, so let’s look at an example. If I have superpowers to move power, I could create your consciousness in one room (which you would experience as yourself) and I could then destroy and create your consciousness in another room. If this is a possibility, then what prevents me from creating your consciousness in both rooms at the same time? Your consciousness wouldn’t be connected by some internet cable, instead, you would just experience both rooms. This is of course the wrench per say because it’s not a thing that happens and once you validate that, you’ve invalidated all the answers because they’re based on the 2 laws. Now if we are looking at the network of space and time argument here’s my opinion: 1). Time doesn’t actually exist lol and a lot of people forget that it’s a made up concept based on the velocity of things in space. So, the question is really, does the velocity of atoms in space affect consciousness? The other question on space I think is much simpler. Does your consciousness change when you move the position of atoms relatively to space? No, it’s continuous and consistent. To be crystal clear, I am saying that your consciousness is your self-referent self and your brain is the vehicle for your consciousness to interact with the world. If I killed you at a movie theater, and brought you back to life at a coffee shop. There’s nothing (assuming atomics) that should be able to stop me from creating both at once. And if that were the case, your consciousness could understand that without some network communication because your consciousness would be like an NFT if not, and if that’s the case it’s basically saying that your consciousness is like a token from another reality imo.
- Highly recommend you go though these if you’re interested as well. https://orb.ac/post/0x1126-0xc5
