The Predictor's Gospel : Gnosticism and Newcomb's Paradox
This essay explores the structural resonance between modern decision theory, specifically Newcomb’s Paradox, and second-century Gnostic theology. By examining the tension between predictive accu- racy and individual agency, we map the “One-Boxer” and “Two-Boxer” strategies onto the ancient dispute between ontological determinism and free moral participation. The result is a vision of the “Predictor’s Gospel,” where knowledge and destiny become indistinguishable in the face of a total intelligence.
