Sure. This sub thread was about plain CDT, and how it self-modifies into some form of DBDT/TDT once it figures out the benefits of doing so -- and given the hypothesis of an omniscient Omega, then Omega will know that this will occur.

In that case, what I think you meant to say was:

Omega on examining your code at 6:59, knows that you will self-modify at 7:00 and ONE-box thereafter.
