my discussion starts with the teleporter problem. Would you experience the world the same way after teleporting your body somewhere else?

In my opinion in both cases teleporting or walking, you are just changing space/time coordinates and everything else stays exactly the same, therefore you should percieve and experience the world the same way as before. Teleporting is effectively just like walking somewhere. Dematerializing at one point of space/time and rematerializing at another point in space/time. (if you meet your friend at the market there is no physical diffrence if he walked or teleported there)

Let's say you are able to create a perfect clone / copy of your brain with all the synapses and energetic conditions including your experiences and impressions and then immediately die after.

Do you think you get to percieve the world the same way you did before your death but from the point of view of your clone or do you think perception itself would end for the original you? (since you effectively just changed space /time coordinates again which is exactly like teleporting)

What happens if you both stay alive, it is most likely impossible you will be able to percieve the world from two diffrent points of view. (there is arguably no connection between you and the clone anymore from the moment after cloning and you and the clone immediately start to differ while both keep percieving from their point of view)

It seems paradox, because teleporting and keeping your perception seems to be possible in this example, while cloning which is teleporting in a way and keeping your perception appears to be logically impossible.

(I personally conclude neither teleporting / cloning while keeping your perception can ever be possible since it is paradox)

What do you think?
