Clone? No. Spontaneously entangled duplicate? Maybe something strange.

If there were a “stargate” that worm holes you to another location there’s a little dirty secret, the destination side is actually a fully entangled duplicate (matter does not transfer only “information” and complete entanglement). If the original is not incinerated (by design) there will be two.

Your barbaric man animal mind will unlikely be more than momentarily disoriented. With special training and development you can absolutely still perceive your other. Without being maintained the link would fade to decoherence.

If you had this skill you would not need the “stargate” to travel among and perceive the minds of others through entanglement.

> unlikely be more than momentarily disoriented:

for “you” it would nearly seem not to work (though so skilled your other you would be your remote piloted view.)

For the other you it would be exactly you having transitioned through the exit side. That too can fully thought interact with your own double, if you could balance your mind on a pin like a seal in a circus with a ball you might just could do it. Just keep it there, in your mind, forever. Or it will be gone after your next nap.
