X-Message-Number: 25305 Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 09:22:53 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #25287 - #25301 HI Everyone! Francois in his message #25300 summarizes the problem quite well. As for RB R, he still hasn't answered my questions and that is why I repeat them. I'm not going to repeat them again. I will state, however, that the notion of "continuity" when you apply it to QEs requires a lot more thought than RBR seems to have given it. I am claiming that we can validly state that an exact recreation of me is the same as me, whether or not there is a lapse of time between the previous version and the recreation IN WHICH THE PLANS FOR ME WERE HELD AS A RECORD. Tell us, RBR, just how you define continuity of a QE; and then once you have done so, tell us why your definition is better than one which allows many more changes without a loss of continuity? Best wishes and long long life for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=25305
