Still not quite it.
BTW, an observation: if i want to maximize the distance at which the thrown stone lands, assuming constant initial speed and zero height, I work out the algebra - I have unknown, x, the shoot angle, and I have laws of physics that express distance as function of x, and I find best x. In newcomb's, I have x=my choice, I have been given rules of the world, whereby the payoff formula includes the x itself, i calculate best x, which is one-box (not surprisingly). The smoking lesion also works fine. Once you stop invoking your built-in decisi...
In my recent post, I outlined 5 conditions that I'd like a decision theory to pass; TDT, UDT and ADT pass them, while CDT and EDT don't. I called decision theories that passed those conditions "advanced decision theories", but that's probably not an optimal name. Can I ask you to brainstorm some other suggestions for me? (I may be writing a follow-up soon.)
As usual, it's best to brainstorm on your own before reading any of the comments. You can write down your ideas, then check if any have already been suggested, then comment with the new ones.
Thanks!
