Consciousness is phenomenological, emerging from material structures under certain conditions. Consciousness has continuity only in the sense that the material structures continue to exist from moment to moment; the self arises from these material structures, and alteration of the material structures leads directly to alterations in the emergent consciousness. Consciousness exists on a continuum; there are times without consciousness that occur each day, and under some neurological conditions some people will have permanent diminishment of consciousness. As the accuracy of a physical copy increases, the phenomenological self that emergences increasingly resembles that of your "self", and under perfect conditions the copy's emergent self would be "you" until experiences diverge enough to alter the physical structures of the brains and bodies. There, I saved you 600 pages of reading.
