The literature largely defines CDT as incapable of precommitments. If you want to propose a specific model of how to choose commitments, just do it.
I don't have one! I'm not brave enough to start coming up with new decision theories while not knowing very much about decision theories. But would I be correct in assuming that this would also mean that the literature definition implies that a CDT agent also can't choose to become a UDT one? (As that seems to me equivalent to a big precommitment to act as a UDT agent.)
