I consider it debatable whether these amendments to naive CDT - CDT plus keeping a commitment, CDT plus cooperating with yourself - really constitute a new decision theory. They arise from reasoning about the situation just a little further, rather than importing a whole new method of thought. Do TDT or UDT have a fundamentally different starting point to CDT?
