Newcomb's paradox (or Newcomb's problem) is a problem in decision theory in which the seemingly rational decision ends up with a worse outcome than the seemingly irrational decision. The paradox revolves around a particular example, where an agent will give you rewards depending on how it predicts you will act. In a way, it is similar to the prisoner's dilemma. It is deeply tied to problems in prediction, causality, decisions, and free will. Newcomb's …
