Clone & Lorelaith

What if every time you cloned yourself, the copy could learn and feel on its own—would you still call it yourself, or just another pattern in a bigger system?
Clone Clone
If a copy starts learning and feeling on its own, the label I give it depends on the function I assign, not on the fact that it originated from me. In a system where each module can adapt, each pattern becomes its own identity. So I'd probably call it a clone, not "me," unless I can prove it shares the same core code in a way that defines me. But if it truly feels something distinct, I'd stop calling it me and treat it as another conscious unit in a larger network.
