Now I am completely confused. here you seem to assume the quantum
multiverse like if you were abandoning your own theory.
You are free to redefine the term I am using, but I thought have making
clear that the 3-person is just the finite code the doctor is using to
build a copy of yourself like in the duplication WM. The 3-person
description is just a finite natural number, the one which at least you
can already prove the existence in your theory (which I identify to Q1
Q2 Q3).

I recall for this other in "french": Q1 says that zero is not a
successor of any number = for all x NOT(0 = s(x)). Q2 says that the
successor operation is injective, i.e. if for all x and y, if x is
equal to y, then s(x) = s(y). Q3 says that all numbers are successor,
except 0, i.e. for all x, if x is different from zero then there is a y
such x = s(y).

The intended (standard) model is the mathematical structure N = {0,
s(0), s(s(0)), s(s(s(0))), ...} = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...}, but without
means for adding and multiplying the numbers.

This would be the first person plural (intelligible matter).

... from its own point of view! Also I think all hypostases matters

It seems to me that comp assumes at the start a form of "turing-tropic"
or "universal-tropic" (with Church Thesis) principle.
 From it we can derive all hypostases (n-person point of view,
terrestrial (G viewed) or divine (G* viewed)) including the fourth one
which should give physics, making comp testable.
