And I'm telling you that their neurons have fired by virtue of their
different observations of their different realities. Those different
measurements of reality are coincidental to their duplication in the
first place, as per MWI. Before the observation there is only the single
original subject.

It seems to me that you want to ignore the physics of MWI because the
physics foil your argument. Yet in other threads you are eager to
promote MWI.
