So are you saying that you believe that if hypothetically a human was cloned, right down to the atomic level by say a Star Trek transporter, that the perceptions would be or could be different? If they could be different then how could you possibly relate the brain to experience, either as a producer of experience or in an emergent sense of mirroring the state in some way... if the same system produced different 'results' (ie perceptions)?
