If there were 2 entities that were conceived at the exact same time who are essentially copies of each other and behave the exact same, like whenever one moves the other does the exact same movement and suffer from the exact same the other does like if it takes a punch they both fall at the exact same time and both bodies have the exact same reaction or if it received an stab the other one would be cut in the exact same place and all that
Could it be considered one single entity existing in two places at the exact same time?

Be honest OP, how high are you right now?

Yeah, there's your metaphysical problem. Sounds like you've imported enlightenment bourgeois ideology as your ontology.
they're not the same entity unless they have a shared common part directly linking both
what you are talking about is not a part. They are connected by an indirect common part instead
however as your condition is hypothetical and thereby potentially erroneous, I'd speculate that if such a condition were so there almost certainly would be a shared connection validating them as an entity

It can happen in a video game/computer software at certain level
Would it still be only metaphysical ?

What happens when I press a button and the exact same thing happens in two places at the same time?
>>353342
But they don't share all the same properties: namely, they differ in their location.
>>353389
Isnt the location something external to them?

>what you are talking about is not a part. They are connected by an indirect common part instead
but then they are one entity and if they are 2 entities the indirect part would also cease to exist if either which behave in the exact same way ceased to exist

I assume by external you mean that it requires relation to other things outside the self in order to be defined. How is this not different from most physical properties?

also if they are part of one entity they would still be producing the exact same effect in two different places at the same time
