>The copies will have the same memories, and thus think they are the original
I don't determine whether I am me by cataloging my observable characteristics.
If I was only the sum of my observable characteristics, there wouldn't be any "me" to evaluate them.
Also, I am not aware of all my memories in one timeless moment. Remembering things is a process. e.g. Proust and his madeleines.
People can be, sometimes are, disoriented when they wake up. Part of it can be remnants of dreams, part of it is just that sometimes threads of memory need to be gathered somehow.
