I just found your post via a search engine. I wanted to quickly follow up on your last paragraph, as I have designed and recently published an equilibrium concept that extends superrationality to non-symmetric games (also non-zero-sum). Counterfactuals are at the core of the reasoning (making it non-Nashian in essence), and outcomes are always unique and Pareto-optimal.
I thought that this might be of interest to you? If so, here are the links:
With colleagues of mine, we also previously published a similar equilibrium concept for games in extensive form (trees). Likewise, it is always unique and Pareto-optimal, but it also always exists. In the extensive form, there is the additional issue of Grandfather’s paradoxes and preemption.
Dear Nisan,

And more recently, I found a way to generalize it to any positions in Minkowski spacetime (subsuming all of the above):

Kind regards and have a nice day,

Oh, this is quite interesting! Have you thought about how to make it work with mixed strategies?
I also found your paper about the Kripke semantics of PTE. I’ll want to give this one a careful read.
You might be interested in: Robust Cooperation in the Prisoner’s Dilemma (Barasz et al. 2014), which kind of extends Tennenholtz’s program equilibrium.
