I’m not sure I understand. The bit sequence that Solomonoff induction receives (after the point where the camera is duplicated) will either contain the camera inputs for just one camera, or it will contain camera inputs for both cameras. (There are also other possibilities, like maybe the inputs will just be blank.) I explained why I think it will just be the camera inputs for one camera rather than two (namely, tracking the locations of two cameras requires a longer program). Do you have an explanation of why “both, separately” is more likely? (I’m assuming that “both, separately” is the same thing as the bit sequence containing camera inputs for both cameras. If not, please clarify what you mean by “both, separately”.)
My disagreement was terminological, not conceptual.
There is a teleporter. You step into part A and you will disappear, and step out of both part B and part C separately. There are now two of you. These two do not possess any special telepathy or connection, but both are you, and you may care about the outcomes for both before you step into the teleporter, and this may affect whether you choose to do so.
Duplication is not a process where you will end up as ‘one of the two, but unclear which’. Duplication is a process where you become two entities which are not changed by the process. You become not one, but “both, separately.” The ‘separation’ means that the two do not share observations directly with each other (though an object entering the same room as both could be seen by both from different angles).
