To make the example clearer, surely you would need to explain what the "<apple, orange>" notation was supposed to mean.
It's from this paragraph of http://lesswrong.com/lw/15m/towards_a_new_decision_theory/ :
In this case I'm assuming preferences for program executions that aren't independent of each other, so it falls into the "more generally" category.
Got an example?
You originally seemed to suggest that <apple, orange> represented some set of preferences.
Now you seem to be saying that it is a bunch of vectors representing possible universes on which some unspecified utility function might operate.
