“Ridiculous limited consciousness. The simulation, of course, included this part of the conversation, where I reminded you that I’ll terminate the simulation and/or kill the human if you don’t choose either box. That is a valid outcome in this experiment. And no, it doesn’t change anything if you get a tavern-full of people to sing La Marseillaise first—that doesn’t defy my predictions, it’s just one more variable I’m measuring.”
That would be an excellent solution—from the unnamed trickster god’s perspective. Personally though, I’m more interested in what Maxwell should do once the rules are already set.
The rules _are_ already set, just not fully described nor known. You’re violating the setup if Maxwell can behave differently than simulations did, or if the behavior of the simulation breaks Omega’s functioning.
