However, do B1 and B2 truly have the same psychology? Indeed at the instant of transmission from A to B1/B2; but one cannot assume that because the psychologies are identical at a point in time, that they are temporally continuous and will not diverge into distinct lines later on. Since B1 and B2, having separate bodies, must take up slightly different spatial locations, B1/2 will each experience the world slightly differently post duplication: perhaps, for example, B1 has a visual perception of the world slightly to the right of B2. B1’s psychology plus the changes that occur to it only entail the psychology of the future B1; there are no connections between B1’s experiences and how B2’s psychology will change, and vise versa. Hence, B1 and B2 are psychologically identical only at a point in time; they are not temporally continuous in any of body, soul, or psychology, and are thus discrete
