If the mapping is natural enough, it establishes relative expressive power of the decision theories, perhaps even allowing to get the same not-a-priori-obvious conclusions from studying one theory as the other. But granted, as I described in this post, the step forward made in UDT/ADT, as compared to TDT, is that causal graph doesn't need to be given as part of problem statement, dependencies get inferred from utility/action definition.
Ok, so show me an actual example of a mapping that is "natural enough", and causes TDT to pay of in CM.
I argued with your argument, not your conclusion.
I am not following your abstract argument, and would like to see an example of how a "natural enough" mapping can establish "relative expressive power of the decision theories".
