Identity as intertemporal solidarity with any other being is a choice, whether the being has “identical” structure or not. It’s a choice for your attitude toward the “you” of tomorrow morning. Or your attitude toward a parakeet 3000 years ago.
Or your attitude toward the whole transporter thing.
Some will consider a “transporter” a mode of transportation, and some will consider it a disintegrator/creator.
