One day you start thinking about a hypothetical nonexistant person named Bob who is a real jerk.
I don’t trade with hypothetical persons. (And while hypothetical me does trade with hypothetical people, he doesn’t trade with hypothetical-hypothetical people.)
Counterfactual people and people in other worlds as actually represented by my best map of the multiverse I may consider trading with, depending on my preferences.
Do Timeless Decision Theory and Updateless Decision Theory say you have a counterfactual obligation to create Bob the Jerk, the same way you have an obligation to pay Omega in the Counterfactual Mugging, and the same way you might (I’m still not sure about this) have an obligation to one-box when dealing with Prometheus?
I one box Newcomb’s, pay Omega in the Counterfactual Mugging and two box with Prometheus. Given the specification of the problem as available two boxing actually seems to be the ‘Cooperate’ option.

Does hypothetical you trade with actual people?
Only when actual me pulls some impressive Dark Arts maneuvering (and the actual person is a sucker).
