Well, at least in some cases (e.g., if A's code is equal to A_i's code) the proof is immediate. Proof is also possible for minor obvious modifications, like variable renaming, so the agent should still behave better than a quining agent for PD.

My goal for inventing this is to have a consistent agent that can know (can prove) its decision beforehand, at least sometimes, without getting into contradictions...
