Has anyone written at length about the evolution of cooperation in humans in this kind of Newcomblike context? I know there's been oceans of ink spent from IPD perspectives, but what about from the acausal angle?
Interesting note: the genetic and cultural features coding for "acausal" social reasoning on the part of the human agent actually have a direct causal influence on the events. They are the physical manifestation of TDT's logical nodes.
