Cool. Maybe you can explain it to me, then. ;)
I'm pretty sure that my sketch doesn't capture all of TDT. Only a rationalization of the "acausal influence" aspect of it.
The only practical application of TDT that I've found is as an anti-procrastination argument. "If this excuse seems good enough to me, it's probably going to seem about as good to me+15 minutes, so if I don't get to work now I'm very unlikely to do so in 15 minutes either". I still find the existence of significant acausal connections between different individuals to be pretty much claptrap.
