Also single mind can be regarded as collection of parts interacting
with each other. If each part can be regarded as its information
content, each physical implementation ties together instantiations of
parts. If single mind can be implemented by multiple implementations,
each of these implementations also implements all parts of mind, so
mind can be composed of different parts, where each of the parts is
implemented in different universe. So, brain can be half- p-zombie and
half-conscious.
