I was assuming a simplified scenario where the rule of transferring to the digital world is that you agree to have your physical form rendered obsolete the moment your VR self wakes up, or at least keep them synced and never have them function simultaneously. but yes, if you have two exact duplicate minds then they start becoming more distinct with each moment that both are conscious separately.
digital Ford says that duplicate minds in the real world still don't work, but he's able to stay sane as long as he remains all digital. that's why I think the Forge was built for digital immortality, since they never seemed to solve the problem of degrading inside a host.
