I actually don’t know Haskell, but I’ll take a stab at decoding it tonight or tomorrow. Open-box Newcomb’s is normally stated as “you see a full box”, not “you or a simulation of you sees a full box”. I agree with this reinterpretation, but I disagree with glossing it over.
My point was that if we take the problem description super-literally as you seeing the box and not a simulation of you, then you must one-box. Of course, since this provides a trivial decision problem, we’ll want to reinterpret it in some way and that’s what I’m providing a justification for.
I see, thanks, that makes it clearer. There’s no disagreement, you’re trying to justify the approach that people are already using. Sorry about the noise.

Not at all. Your comments helped me realise that I needed to make some edits to my post.
