Omega reverses sha-256, and the reversals are all limerick-meter summaries of the original. Omega replays your life history (found it in a sim). Omega shows you the computational machinery and the program which is running. Omega runs a program of your choosing.

This is a sim. Omega has 1000s of years to convince you.

The first two require far less computational power than simming 3^^^3 people. You need to also comprehend the hardware which will be unimaginably huge. You need to already know the output of the program.

And there is no way you can know what you-after-1000-years-of-convincing is like or what they would choose.

The you-after-1000-years says to a forked copy of you, "I have exhaustively verified this computational machinery. Choose wisely."

(Omega resets both copies & repeats this process a gajillion times until they find the combination of words which creates in you the correct state of belief)

Note that if Omega can run path-to-victory against you, he can force you to choose whatever outcome he wants. What you choose after you've been pathed to believe Omega can path is now dependent on Omega's own goal.

We can assume omega does this to set the question and not to influence the result, otherwise why bother.

Omega path-to-victorys you to set up the experiment, but not to influence your choices. His evil twin brother waomega path-to-victorys you to force your decision. A stranger approaches you with two boxes, and claims to be omega. How do you know if you are making a free choice?

This is not a real thought experiment. This is, at best, a reducto of all thought experiments involving Omega.
