Right, but suppose that everybody knows beforehand that Omega is going to preserve copy number 0 only (or that it’s otherwise a consequence of things you already know).
This “pays in advance” for the complexity of the number of the survivor. After t_1, it’s not like they’ve been exposed to anything they would be surprised about if they were never copied.
Ah, wait, is that the resolution? If there’s a known designated survivor, are they required to be simple to specify even before t_1, when they’re “mixed in” with the rest?

The centermost person and the person numbered 0 are simple to specify beforehand.
Given that you know what’s going on in the rest of the universe, the one that doesn’t get shot is also simple to specify.
