I've read it before, and didn't get it that time either...
From my understanding, the experiment on Paul Durham's Copy involves distributing his consciousness across time: he counts to 10, and the moment that he says 4, might come, in realtime, before he says 3. Am I right in thinking that? But what if something happens to him when he says 3 - say, a fly lands on his hand - how does the computer know to have the fly there when he says 4?
Be gentle - I feel like an idiot...
