Likewise, the causal relations that hold between any two things in the actual world also hold between their counterparts in any local-quality duplicate world.
Given a human being who is thinking a certain thought at a certain moment in the actual world, his "counterpart" in a nonactual world that is a perfect local-quality duplicate of the actual world will be thinking the very same thought at the corresponding moment in the history of the duplicate world.
The visual internet, all its nooks and crannies, sits as a relatively untapped reservoir of imagery ripe for curation, like some sort of duplicate world that has yet to be blanketed by tourists with smartphones. .
For if the relation of the mental to the physical that obtains at W is one of weak necessity, then not only is physicalism false but it is also false that any world which is a physical duplicate of W is a positive duplicate of W — at some physical duplicate worlds, for example, there will be no psychological properties at all.
For example, in a toroidal space, travel on a geodesic would bring one back to one's starting point, which, Reichenbach argues, would require either abandoning Euclid or else allowing "causal anomalies" in the form of duplicate worlds at regular distances from one another.
"Another Earth" -- which imagines a world where a duplicate Earth is orbiting our own -- was co-written by a college friend of Marling's, Mike Cahill, who also directed, edited, and shot the film.
And the strongest art is the work that is frankest about its artifice, its failure, finally, to duplicate the world, or even to arrest its mutability; the art that, when faced with the commonplace boast, ars longa vita brevis, humbly begs to differ.
The house also literally has no end: Margot and Jules escape outdoors to find that they are still, eerily, inside the house except in a duplicate, alternate world.
The notion of "transferring the images" is not the same as "copying" or "duplicating". There might be little room for cultural adaptation when it comes to duplicating a world map or images of plants and animals from a non-Chinese book.
The reason is that W is by assumption a physical duplicate of our world; but then, if physicalism is true at our world, W should be a duplicate simpliciter of our world.
But W is patently not a duplicate of our world: it contains some epiphenomenal ectoplasm that our world lacks.
