First experiment argument

From Aware Theory

The First experiment argument applies to behavior, memories, consciousness, and the ixperiencitness of a conscious being (human being). The First experiment argument postulates that if a certain property is produced in a first experiment then that property is more likely to be duplicated than another result when the controlling conditions are held constant.

The original is the first experiment in seeing what will happen when matter has a certain structure, and functions in a certain way. In other words, the original over time is a multitude of complex sequences of interrelated chemical reactions. The original can be considered as an extremely complex experiment to find out what happens when matter has such a structure and functions in such a specific way. It is the first experiment dealing with this exact sequence of chemical reactions. If you had to predict the results of duplicating the exact same experiment scientifically you would predict that the exact same experiment would produce the same results. The cidentireplica is this second and third etc., exact same experiment. What then would you scientifically predict the behavior to be? You would predict the behavior produced by the second experiment to be exactly the same as the first. This gives strong evidence that there is also consciousness produced, and that it is the same as the originals as well. The ixperiencitness should be exactly the same as well being part of what the original produced. If the cidentireplicas have the same ixperiencitness as the original then theory of multiplicity of consciousness existence is true.

You might object by saying that the conditions are not the same because the cidentireplica is not made of the same matter, in the same place, or necessarily in the same time period. If we consider most scientific experiments the specific matter, placement of matter in space, or time that the experiment is done are not factors that control the outcome of the experiment, if all the other conditions are identical. For example, you are experimenting with the creation of a new type of television. You make the first copy, it works. The rest of the copies are not made of the same matter, exist in the same place and can even exist in different times periods. If they have the exact same structure, and function in the same way, you will get the same experimental results. If you do not get the same results you look for other factors that influence them not producing the same results, and you duplicate that additional aspect.
