The paradox only exists if you assume that location and path through space-time is not a property. Since this property cannot be copied, no "identical copy" is possible.

This isn't a divergence--this is an uncopyable property.

re: gentle crane action, it doesn't change the fundamental truth--it isn't my belief that gives me identity. I don't claim to know whether I'm a clone, or be better than the clone. Only that a clone and the original are not the same.

In my understanding no such property exists and yet I do not see any paradox. Hence the quotes around "paradox" in my previous post.

If that property is unobervable then why not eliminate it per occam's razor?
