TDT has that much meta-power in it, at least.

...How much power, exactly?

Given an arbitrary, non-symmetric, one-shot, two-player game with non-transferable utility (your payoffs are denominated in human lives, the other guy's in paperclips), and given that it's common knowledge to both agents that they're using identical implementations of your "TDT", how do we calculate which outcome gets played?
