Multicid arguments

Multicid is a shortened of the phase multiple cidentireplicas.

Multicid arguments are based on multicid experiments. The question is how do you determine the actual consciousness and ixperiencitness produced by a cidentireplica? How then do you compare this to the consciousness and ixperiencitness of the cidentireplica's original? The purpose of Multicid arguments is to prove or disprove that cidentireplicas or idoriginals have the same consciousness and or ixperiencitness as the original. Since the definition of the original is a matter of view point, an idoriginal or cidentireplica can be considered the original as well. It is possible that some cidentireplicas and idoriginals have the same consciousness and ixperiencitness as the original and some do not. If this is to happen then there needs to be rational reasons for this, or the arguments falls outside of the realm of being scientific.

The simplest result and scientific explanation of multicid experiments is that the cidentireplica and idoriginal will always produce the samei dentical behavior (behaviorpath), consciousness (awarepath), and ixperiencitness or ixpepath as the original. Any other scientific explanation will be more complex. Even the oppisite statement that the cidentireplica and idoriginal will never have the same consciousness and ixperiencitness as the original is a more complex scientific statement given the experimental evidence. The experimental evidence being that the original, cidentireplica, and idoriginal always produce the same identical behavior.

The cidentireplica will produce identical behavior to that of the original by definition. As a result any answer given to any question asked to the original will be the same answer given by the cidentireplica. If the original says that his name is Dr Joe Adam Smith the cidentireplica will respond exactly the same in the same way with the same tone of voice etc. The answers to questions about memories will be identical. Beliefs about themselves, where they live and how old they are, how many children they have etc., will be the same. If environmental or quantum mechanical conditions change the structure and functioning of the cidentireplica from that of the original then the cidentireplica is then called a videntireplica. Very small differences in the structure and functioning between the original and videntireplica will still produce the same identical behavior. Since there are an extremely large amount of very small structural and functional differences that will not produce a difference in behavior between the original and videntireplica there will be extremely large amount of slightly different physapaths that will produce the same awarepath and ixperiencitness.
