How does your purely causal framing escape backward induction? Pure CDT agents defect in the iterated version of the prisoners’ dilemma, too. Since at the last time step you wouldn’t care about your reputation.
In conclusion, if you find yourself freely choosing between options, it’s rational to take a dominating strategy, like two-boxing in Newcomb’s problem, or defecting in the sorted prisoner’s dilemma. However, given the opportunity to actually pre-commit to decisions that get you better outcomes provided your pre-commitment, you should do so.
How do you tell if you are in a “pre-commitment” or in a defecting situation?
