Does

Argmax[A in Actions] in Sum[O in Outcomes] (Utility(O)*P(this computation yields A []-> O|rest of universe))

evaluate to:

def Tdt(Actions,Outcomes):
currentMax = 0
output = null
for A in Actions:
sum = 0
for O in Outcomes:
sum += U(O)*P(O|Tdt(Actions,Outcomes) == A and background knowledge)
if sum >= currentMax:
currentMax = sum
output = A
return output

Or am I missing some subtly? I am assuming that "P" and "U" have been defined elsewhere, and that python can deal with referencing the outcome of a computation inside itself before it has been completed (or at least that the probability function halts when given a yet to be computed function evaluating to a certain output as its inout statement). (edit): couldn't get the tabs to work, it's supposed to be pseudo python, but it's probably just as readable. Is there a way to type set tabs in the comments?
