>>12363267The relation between the clones is similar to your relation to moments in your life that you can't remember. You can talk about about a forgotten past self of yourself being "you" because you still share enough memories, psychological traits, and because you are a descendant of this past self (part of a same large pattern). You could talk about a simultaneously existing clone of yourself being you as well, except it is inconvenient due to the temporal overlap (something else than time is required to distinguish the clones). But it doesn't mean you are the same person as your forgotten past self in any deeper sense than your recent clone that has only recently diverged from you.
