Are there any actual predictions that would be different with "continuity of substance" as the standard for identity rather than "similarity of composition"?
What does continuity of substance even mean with respect to Fock spaces or the path-integral formulation? All electrons (or protons, etc) are literally descended from all possible others.
These "subjective anticipations" are different, because I don't try to think of my copies as me.
Discussed here.
