Although you acknowledge that you still think there is something
special about one copy rather than the other, so that one is "you" and
the other is not. It isn't that the "real you" has the same atoms, the
same configuration, the same memories, continuity with the pre-copy
version, or any other physical fact, since thought experiments can be
devised showing up all these criteria as inadequate. It must therefore
be some non-physical fact that makes you you and not a copy of you.
