It's not that finicky. She is in one of the Lagrange points now, so that means that for every year that passes the three bodies will become out of sync by 20 milliseconds or so. This is so small that there is no noticeable drift. Even if this was a hundred times worse it would still be not really noticeable because the speed of information being transmitted through neurons would still be slower.
couldn't she adjust her kerenzikov's dilation factor to make the perceived flow of time match?
So long as the two dimensions weren't more out of sync than what her Kerenzikov could adjust for, yes. But for example, if she was somehow teleported to a dimension that had a large difference in the rate of time that would mean that one body (or more) would be running as though her Kerenzikov were mostly off in order to remain synchronised. She might chose not to do that, and just send compressed memories back and forth, depending on the danger level she was in.
I don't see the difference. like what is illusory about that?
I wonder how this interacts with FTL cause Legend can do it if he wants to which means the shards know how to do it (and that its possible), even if it may be too energy intensive for their liking. If the cyberpunk universe physics didnt allow it then chirurgion would have problably run into trouble since I doubt something that size is willing to limit its computation to lightspeed.
From her comments so far in the story Taylor doesn't care about pets. Or doesn't care a lot I suppose. The new dog is a curiosity for her. Her attachment to the pug and to the Pigeon previously is minimal.
I guess alot of it depends on the bandwidth of the FTL devices too.
There's some evidence that consciousness, particularly self-consciousness, is a meta-modelling process. And, may be tied to a 'body model' - without such there's arguably no 'viewpoint', no 'meta-context', to act as the 'core' of the model. So, a model of 'what I've done', 'what I'm doing', 'what I might do' could be central to the nature of consciousness.
Maybe all that's real is the relationship between 'things', not the 'things', at all?
The assumption is that any replacement would function exactly as the original did, externally at least, though. That is to say that even if it is electric circuits instead of neurons it still interfaces with other brain areas in the same way the tissue it replaced interfaced. So it is more like replacing a bit of a pool of water with alcohol. Wildly different chemically, but if your only perspective is how they create and interact with ripples (its hydrodynamic function) then it would be exactly the same.
My brain hurts even thinking about a distributed consciousness existing in multiple different inertial references, where it's brains are all subjectively experiencing time at the same rate even though parts of the network are physically experiencing time more slowly based on relativity. Like... Would that work? I feel like it would work but I also feel like it shouldn't, if that makes any sense.
Miss Militia doesn't usually have subdermal armor and giant robot arms?
Any serious soldier gets those in this setting.
Which, I note, Miss Militia has never been.
my impression of the Taylor multiplicity is that she no longer functioned like a single brained organism. She mentions new talents like drawing and singing she didn't have before. I assume her 3 brains allow new distributed functions to emerge that spread across the FTL comms across brains. As time passes those new functions will grow. If suddenly one of her bodies die it will be like a stroke for a normal human beings. Those new functions will be crippled to some degree.
She's a dimensional analogue if these theories are right, not another mysteriously transposed person.
I figured people would give up on the dimensional analogue comparisons after 'Dinah' turned out to be a redheaded British street rat.
There is some evidence that really low-level light may also be used to signal between cells... Biology uses what is available, after all, not what is 'simple'.
