Edit: Saw revision in OP. Is there randomness allowed in your closed system? If there is perfect symmetry, then nobody can decisively "win." Whatever one person does is done by the other and whatever is done to one person is done to the other. | ||

However, I think that is incorrect; IF a person/place/object were to be an EXACT replica and clone (once again, referring to my previous point, there is no such possibility in the known universe as an exact 100% clone/replica), then both persons/places/objects would exhibit identical characteristics, based on their genetic makeup and/or physical makeup, thus offsetting each other perfectly. Solution? They would never exist amongst one another. I know this is an annoying answer to swallow, since it kills braincrafting, but I think it is the only actual answer; other theories seem to forget the fact that these are exact replications, and from my knowledge, there is no such existance of two perfectly identical objects in the universe which can combat each other. | ||

We grab the Lasergun from the guard and shoot him in the face. The scientiest tries to scream for help but we smack him with the gun. We'd fist bump and say "clone power". We use the scientist as a hostage and escape. After hiding in the underground of post apocalyptic New York City we get approached by rebels that are fighting against the evil clone men. As we are the only ones that know where the clone facilty is we go back in and blow the facility up by pressing the self-destruction button. We also rescue two superhot clone chicks. Outside while the facilty explodes in the background we make love to these sweet girls. Fistbump. Clone power. | ||

How is me watching too many movies at all related to you not reading the OP? If you did you would realize the hypothetical enviorment is perfectly symetrical and excactly the same for both clones. | ||

Why would having sex with your clone be weird? Because my clone is a guy? It's not the same for me, maybe I'm too homophobic. Imagine if you could would you use your mouth for pleasuring yourself? I had a decent discussion about this with my friends, its still a cock in your mouth, i wouldn't care if its mine. It's the same with other holes too. | ||

 but i agree with those with materialistic and stochastic stance: from my understanding of quantum effects.. they usually net each other out but if the clones fought for a long enough time - they would have some impact (to mental processes and physical execution). But this also depends on the physics of the "perfectly homogenic and same environment" in which the clones fight ).. But good question.. thanks OP. | ||

It started off as what you would do if you were in a small room with a clone with no artifacts except for one light source in the very center of the room. We started talking about fighting your clone and then we started arguing about how the fight would play out: Since you are perfect clones of each other (i.e. same physical and mental attributes), you would have the same exact thought processes. My friend argued that the fight would be somewhat dynamic and, although you would have the same fighting style, you would be doing different moves at different times and therefore you would be reacting differently. I argued that, since you have the same thought processes, you would both choose to not only open the fight with the same exact move, but you would also open the fight at the same exact time. You would then both see the same move and respond in exactly the same way and you would end up mirroring each others moves. I thought this was an interesting question and I was wondering what TL would think. EDIT: To be more specific, the room in question is a perfectly symmetric room in every aspect. In fact, to make it even more symmetric, maybe instead of a single light source at the center of the room, the entire ceiling actually emits some low level light. Basically, the room is designed so that two people in the room will experience the same exact stimuli. EDIT2: By clone, I don't mean the modern conventional definition. I just mean some entity that is exactly the same as you are both mentally and physically. Also, this clone is created the instant you enter the room, so it has all your memories up until that point. There's nothing that says that a clone would have the exact same thought process as what it was a clone of. Your personality and other mental attributes are shaped second to second with every interaction and experience you make - a clone would rapidly change to be a mentally different person that the original person. | ||

So whoever leaves the room is more evil than before. Other option would be we decide to work together and do a fusion and find the evil person responsibel for this and punish him *-*. | ||
