    And we also change every milisecond. How long this process takes? It may seem irrelevant but copy of you 5 seconds ago is not you now. It's your restored back up.

      Unless your pause execution of the original or there's an ongoing synchronization during the cloning process

        Sync would lag anyway, I think, if we are pedantic.

        Pausing the execution of the original via execution solves the problem of who's original here tho. One's still functioning.

          Well it depends on the method of sync… Doing it through updates would lag, but what if it was through something like quantum effects, or even by treating both bodies and brains like a contiguous organism until the cloning is complete? Like with a cell dividing, there's no original
