Idoriginal argument

The idoriginal argument is that if you duplicate not only the the structure and functioning of the original but duplicated the way the original got that structure and functioning, you would more likely duplicate the ixperiencitness produced by the original, if duplicating structure and functioning alone did not produce the identical ixperiencitness.
We know that the same body made with different matter can produce the same ixperiencitness, because the matter in the body is being replaced all of the time and eventually all the matter in the original body is replaced. You do not have to have all of the same matter to produce the same ixperiencitness
We know that the same body with a different consciousnesses can have the same ixperiencitness, because your consciousness now is different from how it was in the past and will be in the future and you will have the same ixperiencitness at least part of this time. You do not have to have identical consciousness to produce the same ixperiencitness.
We know that the same body with a different structure and functioning can have the same ixperiencitness, because the structure and functioning now is different from how it was in the past and will be in the future and you will have the same ixperiencitness at least part of this time. You do not have to identical structure and functioning in the body to produce the same ixperiencitness.
Let assume that duplicating the structure and functioning of the original in a cidentireplica did not produce the same identical ixperiencitness in the cidentireplica. Now lets assume that if the cidentireplica is produced in an environment exactly like the original had. In other words we produced a idoriginal of the original and this idoriginal had the ixperiencitness that the original had. This would mean that the process of creation made a difference in the ixperiencitness. How does this particular process produce the same ixperiencitness? We can run a number of variable experiments where the environmental conditions are varied but where the eventual structure and functioning of the original is achieved.
