Thanks, this was one of the more insightful things I remember reading about decision theory.
You've argued that many human situations are somewhat Newcomblike. Do we have a decision theory which deals cleanly with this continuum? (where the continuum is expressed for instance via the degree of correlation between your action and the other player's action)
