What if our world-modeling redundancy IS part of our necessary information
processing?

Are you content to rip your CD collection directly to a lossy format like
mp3 or do you first archive everything to a lossless format?

If we're discussing identity and consciousness,  I would like to be sure
all of the important bits are working properly.  :)
