Hm, can't forget about the inputs/outputs to the system. If
they're different, we're different. Did you know that no two
people hear exactly the same? We can't; our ears are all shaped
differently. For most practical purposes, it doesn't make much
difference, but, still a difference. I was born 1/2 deaf; more
than - one ear is tinny and can't hear anything and the other
only goes up to 5000 hz. Yet, I have perfect pitch. I hear the
world differently. My neuronal configuration was shaped by my
inputs; it didn't come out of thin air. Even a copy would be
different if it had different ears and would be a different
person, whether digital or analog. - but that leads more into
another question [1]Seedy Johnson posed again, which is still in
my head.
The key thing is: "as long as" and "exact". Strict standards
there. Unless we reach the "as long as" "exact", the
foundational material remains relevant.
