Are we the same or different?

[theVOID]

I get that 2 objects existing in seperate places in our universal laws of space time are different. But if "identity" or "consciousness" is personal and subjective and non-material or insubstntial, could someone exist with exactly the same identity or consciousness elsehwere if we could exclude space-time from identity?

Consciousness and the identity of an individual is entirely dependent on the physical topology of the brain. If you could duplicate my physical brain completely at any given moment and place it in another individual you would have someone who has the same conscious identity as I did at that moment. The two copies of 'the identity' would diverge over time as unique experiences dictated the growth of different neural pathways.

You cannot exclude spacetime from identity as identity is the physical topology of the brain in any given space at any given time.
