I would say that instantaneously, it is definitely the case that this
one is speaking here due to this collection of matter and that one is
speaking there due to that collection of matter. The same could be
said for two identical computer programs being implemented on two
identical, but numerically distinct, computers. This is so even though
we could say there is only one platonic object, multiply implemented.
