We don't have to worry about Omega's motivations at all, because, in a proper Omega scenario, Omega's actions in repsonse to every possible state of the scenario is exactly specified.

Right. I used the term "not malevolent" for this. What term would you have used?

"Has exactly specified behavior" would work.

Sure, that works. How about, "(b) has explicitly defined behavior." Does that translate okay?
