I did not realize that the UDT agents were assumed to behave identically; I was thinking that the cooperation was maintained, not by symmetry, but by mutual source code knowledge.
If it’s symmetry, well, if you can sneak a different agent into a clique without getting singled out, that’s an advantage. Again not a problem with UDT as such.
Edit: of course they do behave identically because they did have identical code (which was the source of the knowledge). (Though I don’t expect agents in the same decision theory class to be identical in the typical case).
