Dual Form and simultaneous torporing

the same time (say by Edged Illusion). Does the controller get to
choose which one burns? Do they both burn? If you get to choose what if
they are controlled by different Methuselahs?

[PRO] This acting vampire`s capacity is reduced by 1. Put this card in
play, tapped. It becomes a non-unique vampire with the same clan,
capacity and Disciplines as the acting vampire. You may move up to 2
blood from the acting vampire to this vampire. If either minion leaves
the ready region, the other is burned.
=====
Note that "If either minion leaves ... "
It doesn't matter if their leaving is simultaneous or not, if either of
them leaves, the other is burned.
Also note that it is a chain reaction event ... If Vamp A dual forms to
make A and A2, then A2 dual forms to make B1 and B2 and B2 is torpored,
that burns B2 and B1. Since either of B1 and B2 has been burnt (removed
from ready region), A2 burns, and thus A burns.

The controller chooses which one is burned.
They are not both burned (no loop-back).
If they are controlled by different Methuselahs, then 1.6.1.5 means
that the controller who is first clockwise from the acting Methuselah
chooses.

had been created from various dual forms from one vampire (say Enkidu),
that only the two that are directly linked are affected when one leaves
the ready region? So, in other words, if you manage to torpor/burn
one, the one that created that specific dual form burns and the others
are safe?
Minion A (Enkidu; 9 cap) ---> Minion B (7 cap clone of A) --->
Minion C (5 cap clone of B) ---> Minion D (5 cap clone of C)
#1 So, if D is sent to torpor, C burns. But, since C is not ready, B
burns? Then since B is not ready, A (original Enkidu) burns?
#2 If not, then if B is torpored, do both A and C burn?

No, you're confusing loop-back with chain reactions.
Loop-back is the situation where both vampires are around in the ready
region, say Enkidu and his lil buddy.
Enkidu goes to torpor. The Lil Buddy notices Enkidu go to torpor. So
Lil Buddy burns. Then Enkidu notices Lil Buddy burns. So Enkidu burns.
Note: this DOES NOT happen, but this is loop-back. One vampires becomes
unready, their Dual Form's text notices this, the other burns - and
there you stop.
Chain reactions are where various vampires are interlinked by Dual
Forms. These works as normal. Each separate copy of Dual Form prevents
loop-back, but you do get a domino effect.

Right.

This happens too.

>>- Vamp A creates A1. If either leaves the ready region, the other one
burns.
>>- A creates A2. Then, if A goes to torpor, A1 and A2 both go to
torpor.
No. If A goes to torpor, A1 and A2 burn.
****
All the interlinked pairs are handled, but each Dual Form can only burn
one vampire.
