Identical structure and functioning of matter

It appears, from many scientific experiments, that the brain produces consciousness and ixperiencitness through it functioning. If the structure is different enough it would produce a different consciousness given the same external stimulation. If the structure and functioning of two or more bodies are close enough alike in structure and functioning they will produce identical behavior. There are an enumerable amount of very small ways to to modify the the structure of a brain where it will produce no change in the functioning of the brain. Then there are other small changes to the structure of the brain that will not right away produce a change in the functioning enough to change the behavior and thus consciousness produced by the brain during this period of time.

Identical structure can mean that every atom and subatomic particle is in the exact same position and orientation with the same energy level. identical functioning of groupings of matter means that at every moment or point in time they have the same identical structure and are changing in the exact same ways. However, to produce identical consciousness and ixperiencitness in another body it does not require identical structure and functioning of the matter in the bodies it only has to be closely enough identical.
