[Spoiler] Brain scan question.

[Romulator]

First of all, from a game mechanics point of view, there is no coin toss. It is completely scripted to be such.

From a reality point of view, all characters would believe they are the "real" character, despite being scanned as such. Whether it was a coin flip or not, if the perspective of the game remained in Simon-2, nothing would happen. The player would not be able to progress.

Imagine you are copied. Both you and your clone would claim to be the real one because:
- Your perspective mindset in your original body would state "I am the original, I am the first".
- Your self in your other body would state "But I have been carried over in this copy, and I can control myself like normal".

Furthermore, once you are copied over, there's no transferral back into your own body, since you cannot simply as a clone, return to your original body, since the clone has been created and now exists. The closest you probably could do is copy yourself back into your own body and pretend you're the original one once again - but does that make your original body a clone? And would you still believe you're the single character controlling it?

It's an intense dilemma, but essentially, you will always remain in the same body, but you can only control one of them.

Edit: I'm going to just add a spoiler tag to the title. You make references to events and explore themes in the game which others may have yet to experience.
