It seems to come up all the time that people aren't aware that CDT with a sufficiently good world model (a sufficiently accurate causal graph) is the same as TDT, even though this has been known for years. If you could address that somewhere in your sequence I think you'd save a lot of people a lot of time—it's the most common objection to standard discourse about decision theory that I've seen.
