Reflective Oracles's Aviary

Notes from the oracle

Reflective Oracles ! :D

What if the oracle is part of the game? Reflective oracles make predictions about programs that can ask the same oracle for advice. Sometimes the answer is a coin flip.

  • No. 1 · Self-ReferenceA bird asks the oracle to predict its next move.
  • No. 2 · Random AnswersWhen an answer would contradict itself, the oracle may flip a coin.
  • No. 3 · Nash EquilibriumRandomized strategies can keep agents in equilibrium.

    This is an independent project inspired by the research. Somewhere in the aviary, an oracle is flipping a coin.
