How this character reads at season scale
The six-hours-ahead duplicate of Captain Picard in 'Time Squared' (s02e13) is a separate being, not a state of the captain: the script gives him his own speaker cue and puts him on screen beside the man he is a copy of. Under the T-047 refined rule of 5 September an alternate self folds into the main node ONLY when the source never shows both at once; here it shows them together throughout Sickbay and Shuttle Bay Two, so the duplicate takes its own node — the same treatment as the 'Allegiance' replica. The persona 'Duplicate Picard' was the best the persona layer could do for a being the graph had no node for; the split replaces it.
