This idea, the Texas Sharpshooter Utility Function, which looks at what happens and then paints the value 1 on it, is a surprisingly recurrent one on LW. But it does not work. It does not allow of any predictions. First you must see what happens; only then can you paint the target. Its present is uncomputable from its past.
I agree with sunwillrise’s comment.
