“TDT and FDT are distict from CTD, but they’re not actually acausal, just more inclusive of causality of decisions.” I agree that the term ‘acausal’ is misleading; I take it to refer to anything which takes the possibility of being instantiated in different parts of a ‘platonic /mathematical universe’ into account. That CDT as it’s usually referred to does not is the main reason why I find it problematic and why it doesn’t allow an agent to profit in Newcomb’s problem.
