The concept is unlike traditional solipsism, if that's what you're referring to?

I haven't read past what you posted but it seems identical to me.

This concept is unlike your example, because it is still possible for this one person carrying the simulation to create an offspring or clone, and it would in time become two separate people. Open Individualism states that if the one person carrying the simulation were to somehow reproduce themselves, there would still only be one person.
