Same person test

Same person test is a test that is not well defined, but has been used to determine cases of personal survival into the future, personal survival into the past, life after death, and immortality. It is very different than the ixperiencit test because it tries to determine what is the same person or body into the future or past. The same person test is useful in some ways but is detrimental to understanding when used in the wrong ways.

From the perspective of other people the same person test is all that is available or needed in many cases. But from the perspective of the individual that is being tested, having the same ixperiencitness or close approximate ixperiencitness is much more important than if you are the same person or not. If all of a sudden you did not experience anything that would not be you for yourself even if your body continued to to behave like it did before and everyone that knew thought it was still you.

The same person test is set of guide lines for a continuation of the same body that looks the same and acts the same it is the same person if you have good evidence that a person is the same as before but looks different and acts different

There are many different cases where it is not clear if a person is the same person as a previous person or not. This is because there are a continuum of examples of imaginable situations where there is no clear answer to the question. For instance, you take two humans each a cidentireplica of each other. We call then cidentireplica 1 and cidentireplica 2. They are divided and recombined perfectly with the half of the other cidentireplica, without any destruction of any cells etc of either. Now cidentireplica 3 is half of cidentireplica 1 and half of cidentireplica 2. And cidentireplica 4 is the other two halves of cidentireplica 1 and cidentireplica 2. There are four major possibilities they are . c3 is not the same person as c1 or c2, c3 is the same person as both c1 and c2.

The important question for the individuals is what the ixperiencit test says, which is that cidentireplicas 1 and 2 have the same ixperiencitness before the split, cidentireplica 3 and 4 have the same ixperiencitness after the split and perfect recombination.
