and if Omega doesn’t tell you, then you might just as well be the copy itself, meaning that either you can’t be predicted or you’re not playing Newcomb.
That’s certainly the situation I have in mind (although certainly Omega can tell both of you “I have made a copy of the person that walked into this room to simulate; you are either the copy or the original” or something to that effect). But I don’t see how either one of “you can’t be predicted or you’re not playing Newcomb” makes sense.
Could you elaborate on this?

If you’re the copy that Omega bases its prediction of the other copy on, how does Omega predict you?
