Uh, Omega has no business deciding what problem I'm solving.

No, but if you're solving something other than Newcomb's problem, why discuss it on this post?

I'm not solving it in the sense of utility maximization. I'm solving it in the sense of demonstrating that the input conditions might well be self-contradictory, using any means available.

Okay yes, I see what you're trying to do and the comment is retracted.
