While I can understand thinking of it this way, it doesn't seem to be
necessarily the only solution.  If you can have the same soul at this
place at 4:00 and at this place at 5:00 without worriying about it having
split into two different souls, why can't you have the same soul at this
place at 4:00 and at that place at 4:00?
