This is the first solution to Sleeping Beauty problem I've seen that seems to just simply make sense. Upvoted.

Katja didn't give a complete solution to the Sleeping Beauty problem here. She just advocated identifying an epistemic agent as the observer-moment doing the reasoning at that time. But, for example, both SIA (which advises a thirder position) and SSA (which advises a halfer position) can be phrased in terms of observer-moments.
