Nowhere in the analysis do I treat a data point as “there exists a version of me which has received this data...”;
This confuses me. Dacyn’s “There exists a version of me which has received this data as well as all of the prior data I have received” seems equivalent to Neal’s “I will here consider what happens if you ignore such indexical information, conditioning only on the fact that someone in the universe with your memories exists. I refer to this procedure as “Full Non-indexical Conditioning” (FNC).” (Section 2.3 of Neal2007)
Do you think Dacyn is saying something different from Neal? Or that you are saying something different from both Dacyn and Neal? Or something else?
None of this is about “versions of me”; it’s about identifying what information you actually have and using that to make inferences. If the FNIC approach is wrong, then tell me what how Beauty’s actual state of information differs from what is used in the analysis; don’t just say, “it seems really odd.”
