You must take into account Bruno's Plotinian interpretation: the One,
the Intellect, and the Universal Soul. In this sense, you can become
more "you" in that you penetrate false knowledge "Maya" and realize your
true nature (the Dao, if you like, roughly the ONE in Plotinus).

What I have come to wonder: you take the Löbian Machine to be the model
of a person - say, a human. But what if the Löbian Machine is actually
(and only) the ultimate person - the universal soul, in Plotinus'
terminology.
This would account for the infinite (continuum!) histories (lived
through the lives of all beings in the multiverse), the "universal soul"
forgetting itself in a cosmic play, sort of - but also for COMP
immortality - immortal would be the _universal soul_, but not
necessarily "concrete" persons (as we conceive them, which requires at
least some continuity of memory etc)
Cheers,
Günther
