- cdt-newcomb-divergence
- Assertion
- CDT was partly motivated by the failure of evidential-style reasoning in Newcomb-like cases: because one-boxers almost always find $1,000,000 and two-boxers almost always find only $1,000, many philosophers treat the evidential dominance of one-boxing as a significant consideration, while CDT proponents argue the decision cannot causally affect the already-set box contents.
