So you would never one-box unless the simulator did some sort of scan/simulation upon your brain?
I’d one-box when Omega had sufficient access to my source-code. It doesn’t have to be through scanning—Omega might just be a great face-reading psychologist.
But it’s better to one-box and be derivable as the kind of person to (probably) one-box than to two-box and be derivable as the kind of person to (probably) two-box.
We’re in agreement. As we discussed, this only applies insofar as you can control the factors that lead you to be classified as a one-boxer or a two-boxer. You can alter neither demographic information nor past behavior. But when (and only when) one-boxing causes you to be derived as a one-boxer, you should obviously one box.
Your final decision never affects the actual arrangement of the boxes, but its causes do.
Well, that’s true for this universe. I just assume we’re playing in any given universe, some of which include Omegas who can tell the future (which implies bidirectional causality) - since Psychohistorian3 started out with that sort of thought when I first commented.
Ok, so we do agree that it can be rational to one-box when predicted by a human (if they predict based upon factors you control such as your facial cues). This may have been a misunderstanding between us then, because I thought you were defending the computationalist view that you should only one-box if you might be an alternate you used in the prediction.

yes, we do agree on that.
