Re:Why the 'Sleeping Beauty Problem' Is Keeping Mathematicia... by foweltschmerz on Friday December 13, 2024 @10:21PM (#42414417)
Not really. Unlike the monty hall problem, sleeping beauty receives no additional information. The thought experiment was originally brought up to illustrate how a perfectly rational agent’s credence in the relevance of her temporal position to some proposition can change over time even though she receives no new information nor suffers from a cognitive mishap. This point is more evident in the original paper by Elga: https://swh.princeton.edu/~adame/papers/sleeping/sleeping.pd...
