The point of the third assumption is that those revival simulations are not just similar to you, but actually “you”. “You” of this instant is a particular observer-moment that is being computed in a multitude of quantum branches or universes.
What we want is orthogonal though, right? Unless you think that metaphysics is so intractable to reason about logically that the best we can do is go by aesthetics.
To adapt Woody Allen, I don’t want to achieve immortality by imagining that someone else is me, I want to achieve immortality by not dying.

Well, that is your third assumption. But it requires that the multiple instances are identical: if one is dying, all are. If one is revived, all are.
