Why do you insist on making life harder on yourself?
I thought it might be interesting to sketch the outline of a possible solution to the level 4 multiverse decision problem, so people can get a sense of how much work is left to be done (i.e., a lot). This is also a subject that I’ve been interested in for a long time, so I couldn’t resist bringing it up.
Anyway, I gave 2 other examples with simple world models. Can you suggest more simple models that I should test this theory with?

I have thought a bit about these decision theory issues lately and my ideas seem somewhat similar to yours though not identical; see

It’s the “do what a superintelligence would do” decision theory!!!
