Comboconstruction arguments

There are a number of comboconstruction arguments.
Anything that effects the functioning of a consciousness producing system can change the consciousness being produced. So a different itoidentireplica that is sufficiently (numerically and complexly enough) connected to a different type of itoidentireplica or itoriginal will produce consciousness.
We can imagine an experiment where we replace one neuron after another with a NRD when we do this we have a comboidentireplica thus being a partial original and partial isoidentireplica
Addition principle # 1 If an external functioning simisystem when added to the system adds consciousness to the system, then the external source is considered to be producing consciousness.
