Yeah that sounds right. But maybe not limited to just clones of yourself. Maybe split your consciousness or awareness (i'm not sure which word fits better) between your 1st person view and also a third person view. The part of your awareness that is observing from the third person view could possibly make changes to the environment while the part of your awareness that is observing from 1st person view could interact more closely with these changes. It's a concept that's hard to put into words. Maybe you could call it multiple personalities?

EDIT: Sorry Caden, i took to long typing my post and didn't see yours. That sounds very interesting. I'll go take a look at your dj.
