Geez. Brains are NOISY, and like everything else, are QM objects. The CNS
is designed to operate in spite of the noise, and in some cases, the noise
is required. If you create a duplicate, divergence begins immediately for
there is no way to replicate the microstates. However this might not be
noticeable for a short while. This makes little functional difference. And,
yes, all thoughts, perceptions, etc are eventually changed by QM. If I met
both of your copies a week or two after being duplicated, the conversations
would be different, but I would perceive both of you as the same person.
