Is this a newer version of this paper anywhere? Is it officially still a work in progress? The SIAI blog post announcing the paper said that it had been "completed", but it ends rather abruptly, a few citations are missing, and there's a placeholder for a figure on page 69.

(I just redownloaded it from the URL they currently give, and while I got a copy that apparently fixed a few typos, there were no substantive changes.)

Edit: Oh, and the abstract says that it'll show that TDT formalizes superrationality and can sometimes get C/C on one-shot Prisoner's Dilemmas, but it never gets to that. So yeah, I'll assume it's a work in progress. Should be more clearly identified as such, though.
