"Unification (Bostrom's term) seems to be almost irrefutable"
I would have thought the point was justifying the claim about dissolution.
That is, somehow or other, a claim about causlaity, .transtemporal identity, or something else you have never provided a premise relating to.
I can make some sense of that, assuming duplication. If your brain has been copied N times, then you have a 1/N chance of being the original .... assuming you can only be one at time.
That would create a worry about being in a simulation that wasn't stable, but your actual worry is apparently about lack of reality....although a .simulation still has an indirect connection to reality.
But then you believe in Unification, which would mean you you are indissolubly n whatever world you ate in.
You can use a phrase, or invent a word.
