Yes. Not only subjective, but also objective (as defined by a
measurement).

No. Space is unlabeled. If you have no system noise and are fully
deterministic it's sufficient to provide the same input. If you have
system noise and are nondeterministic you can still be forced by
subjecting you evolution constraints (trajectory forcing). Effects of
trajectory forcing result in both systems evolving along the same lines
regardless of input, which for spatially distinct systems is equivalent to
shared hallucination, or selective agnosia.

You're wrong. Go look up my synchronized deterministic system evolution
post (which no one commented on, so I've failed to make a point).
