Right, I read all that. I still don’t understand what it means to append two things to the list.
Here’s how I understand modelLewis, modelElga, etc.
“This model represent the world as a probability distribution. To get a more concrete sense of the world model, here’s a function which generates a sample from that probability distribution”
Here’s how I understand your model.
“This model represents the world as a ????, which like a probability distribution but different. To get a concrete sense of the world model, here’s a function which generates a sample from that probability distribution JUST KIDDING here’s TWO samples”.
Why can you generate two samples at once? What does that even mean?? The world model isn’t quite just a stationary probability distribution, fine, what is it then? Your model isn’t structured like other models, fine, but how is it structured? I’m drowning in type errors.
EDIT and I’m suggesting be really concrete, if you can, if that will help. Like come up with some concrete situation where Beauty makes a bet, or says a thing, (“Beauty woke up on Monday and said ‘I think there’s a 50% chance the coin came up on heads, and refuse to say there’s a state of affairs about what day it presently is’”) and explain what in her model made her make that bet or say that thing. Or maybe draw a picture which what her brain looks like under that circumstance compared to other circumstances.
Here’s how I think of what the list is. Sleeping Beauty writes a diary entry each day she wakes up. (“Nice weather today. I wonder how the coin landed.”). She would like to add today’s date, but can’t due to amnesia. After the experiment ends, she goes back to annotate each diary entry with what day it was written, and also the coin flip result, which she also now knows.
The experiment is lots of fun, so she signs up for it many times. The Python list corresponds to the dates she wrote in her dairy.
