I've always pictured Omega like this: suddenly I'm pulled from our world and appear in a sterile white room that contains two boxes. At the same moment I somehow know the problem formulation. I open one box, take the million, and return to the world.
This, down to the white room and being pulled. Omega doesn't Have form or personality. He's beyond physics.
And when you get counterfactually mugged, you're in a sterile white room with a vending machine bill acceptor planted in the wall?
No, just an empty room. If I take a bill out of my pocket and hold it in front of me, it disappears and I go back. If I say "no", I go back.
Omega would get better results if he accepted Master Card.
