I'm already a bit late to be commenting here, but I would suggest that people who are interested in further thought experiments along these lines read Egan's /Permutation City/. I don't totally agree with how the author answers his own thought experiments, but the experiments themselves are very closely related to the topic of the post.

Hmm the "map that is the territory"... The essence of ata's post is a mirror of Daniel Dennett's argument against p-zombies.
