That’s fair; I wasn’t sure how to phrase the idea in 8 to exclude 9, so the language isn’t perfect, and I agree, now that I’ve seen it, that your proposed 10 is conceptually a step above my 9. Let me know if it is okay for me to add your 10 to my list.
Out of curiosity, do you consider the 10 you wrote “intuitively true”, or just the logical next step in a hypothetical ladder?
You can add my #10 to your list. Regarding your new #8, I’m not sure I understand the distinction between a brain implemented on a computer chip vs a simulation of a brain. Regarding my opinion on what is “intuitively true”, it seems like all of them are different ways of making more precise the notion of identity, I don’t know that it makes sense to give one of them a privileged status. In other words they all seem to be referring to slightly different concepts, all of which appear to be valid...

Edit: I did my best to fix 8.
