I am looking for the philosophical consensus or major arguments regarding Personal Identity in the context of a Physicalist worldview within an infinite or cyclic multiverse.

1. On Physicalism and Recurrence: If my consciousness is entirely reducible to a specific informational pattern of matter, and the universe is infinite (Eternal Inflation), that pattern must mathematically recur. Does this "Qualitative Identity" (a perfect copy) count as "Numerical Identity" (me) in contemporary metaphysics?
2. On the "Receiver" Model: How do current philosophers of mind view the Panpsychist "receiver" analogy—where the brain tunes into a fundamental field—compared to the emergentist view? Which is considered more "internally consistent" with current cosmological models?
3. On Survival: If the "Null-Hypothesis" of death assumes the permanent cessation of experience, how is this defended against the statistical certainty of recurrence in an infinite system? Are there specific arguments that address why my "future" recurrence wouldn't be "me" with the same exact ego i have right now?
