If some of our measure is in a simulation that’s being run to determine whether our measure in real worlds will acausally bargain to get gains from trade, it’s maybe a defection against the bargaining process to force the universe to provide a lot of compute for us (e.g. by running an intergalactic civilization that’s crypographically verified to actually be running), before we’ve done the bargaining, or at the very least legibly truly precommitted to a bargaining process. Otherwise we force simulators to either waste a lot of resources simulating us, or else give up on bargaining with us altogether. (We’d not even necessarily get value from those resources, if e.g. there’s an initial period of scrambling to expand into the lightcone before the party starts.)
