Objections & Defense
Objection
The 'old self' dies in salvation
"Paul says we 'die with Christ' and become a 'new creation.' Doesn't that mean the old information is destroyed?" Response: Paul's language is metaphorical for transformation of orientation, not…
Objection
Non-unitary operations destroy information
"You admitted G^dagger G != I. Non-unitary processes increase entropy and lose information.
Objection
What about forgiveness of sins?
"If sins are forgiven, isn't that information destroyed? The record is erased?" Response: Forgiveness is relational, not informational.
Collapse Analysis
Collapse Radius: None
If P9.3 fails: - Salvation becomes annihilation-and-replacement - The "saved you" is not you—it's a copy - Personal resurrection becomes meaningless (who is raised?) - Moral responsibility breaks down (the saved aren't the ones who sinned) - The atonement loses coherence (Christ didn't save persons, He replaced them) - P9.4 (Superposition Preserved) loses foundation - The entire personal eschatology collapses Cascade effects: - Heaven is populated by copies, not by the persons who lived - "Eternal life" is not YOUR eternal life - Love relationships don't persist (your spouse is replaced by a duplicate) - Justice fails (the damned aren't the ones who sinned either) - The whole soteriological narrative becomes incoherent P9.3 is the mathematical foundation of personal salvation. Without it, "salvation" is a euphemism for replacement—you die, and something else wearing your name lives on.
