everything that a real flesh-and-blood, or an uploaded, Eugene

tell it something that it did not appear to know, but then
would appear to know on subsequent occasions.

Lee, how do we decide that the recreated observer is most in common with the
contiguous memories of the deceased one is recreating? Or is it just
different versions of us, in predominantly, ludicrous, universes? Or do we
narrow down the 'worlds' that most, closely, resemble us and ours? (head
spinning) How much computing capacity would it take to regenerate our realm,
because I have heard that it's 10^45, and using the Beckenstein Bound,
10^123, respectively??
