The semantics get easier if you think of both as being copies, so you have past-self, copy-1, and copy-2. Then you can ask which copy is you, or if they're both you. (If past-self is drunk, copy-1 is drunk, and copy-2 is sober, which copy is really more "you"?)
Yeah, actually, that helps a lot. Using that language most of the followup questions I have obvious enough to skip bringing up. Thanks.
