I disagree with your characterization of 0. You say that it is incompatible with physicalism, but that seems false. Indeed it seems to be a very mainstream physicalist view to say “I am a physical object—my brain. So a copy of me would have the same experiences, but it would not be me.”

Seconded. Physics and physicalism allow qualitively identical things to be numerically distinct.
Objection accepted.
