I don’t think it would be able to predict much then, I think we’d figure out a way to interfere. But the assumption was that it was able to predict anything. If you’re saying it is able to take human action into account, ultimately its prediction must be something that human will cannot override, a power higher than human will but less in strength than the laws of nature—but human will seems to be leading us pretty close to the laws of nature so that gap is very tiny.
the oracle would have to take the influence of its own predictions into account.
