Page "Newcomb's paradox" Paragraph 2
from
Wikipedia
A person is playing a game operated by the Predictor, an entity somehow presented as being exceptionally skilled at predicting people's actions.
Some assume that the character always has a reputation for being completely infallible and incapable of error ; others assume that the predictor has a very low error rate.
The Predictor can be presented as a psychic, as a superintelligent alien, as a deity, as a brain-scanning computer, etc.
However, the original discussion by Nozick says only that the Predictor's predictions are " almost certainly " correct, and also specifies that " what you actually decide to do is not part of the explanation of why he made the prediction he made ".
