A convergence like that makes both UDT and your decision theory more interesting to me. Is the process of your decision theory's genesis detailed on your personal blog? In retrospect, was your starting place and development process influenced heavily enough by LW/OB/Wei Dai to screen out the coincidence?
I call it "ambient control". This can work as an abstract:
Longer description here. I'll likely post on some aspects of it in the future, as the idea gets further developed. There is a lot of trouble with logical strength of theories of consequences, for example. There is also some hope to unify logical and observational uncertainty here, at the same time making the decision algorithm computationally feasible (it's not part of the description linked above).
