...non-interacting? Why?

But the stipulation as stated leads to major problems - for instance:

each copy existing in its own computational world, which is identical to yours with no copy-copy or world-world interaction

implies that I'm copying the entire world full of people, not just me. That distorts the incentives.

Edit: And it also implies that the copy will not be useful for backup, as whatever takes me out is likely to take it out.
