If this universe contains agents who engage in acausal trade, does that make it partially acausal?
Nope. It's just a terrible name.
I almost went with that answer, and didn't ask. But then I thought about trade with future agents who have different resources and values than we do--resources and values which will be heavily influenced by what we do today. The structure seems to be at least as similar as self-consistent solutions in plasma physics.
