Yeah, I think what I said isn't strictly within your system. In your system, where does "the measure that I assign" come from? I mean, if I was already a UDT agent, I would already have such a measure, but I'm not already a UDT agent so I'd have to come up with a measure if I want to become a UDT agent (assuming that's the right thing to do). But what do I based it on, and why? BTW, have you read my post http://lesswrong.com/lw/1iy/what_are_probabilities_anyway/ where option 4 is similar to your system? I wasn't sure option 4 is the right answer back then, and I'm still in the same basic position now.
