He does not say much there, and taken literally, this is already what the antic dream argument put in doubt. If we take the arithmetical first person indeterminacy into account, it is not so much the environment which needs to be taken into account, but the collection of all consistent continuation, structured by the material modes of self-reference. If not, it means that the substitution level has chosen correctly, or that the “brain” was not well copied… (or that we use a non mechanist theory of mind).
