Tyrrell_McAllister comments on UDT agents as deontologists

[Tyrrell_McAllister]

I agree with this description now. I apologize for this instance and a couple others; stayed up too late last night, and negative impression about your post from the other mistakes primed me to see mistakes where everything is correct.

Thanks for the apology. I accept responsibility for priming you with my other mistakes.

In UDT, different world-programs correspond to observational and indexical uncertainty, while different execution strategies to logical uncertainty about a specific world program. Only where there is essentially no indexical uncertainty, it makes sense to introduce probabilities of possible worlds, factorizing the probabilities otherwise supplied by mathematical intuition together with those describing logical uncertainty.

I hadn’t thought about the connection to indexical uncertainty. That is food for thought.
