The Reverse Grim-Reaper Paradox

Показать описание
(1): Assume: Each reaper Rn kills iff none of the reapers R(m larger than n) does so

(2) Assume: It is true that God foreknows some countably
infinite sequence x1,x2,x3... that (truthfully) represents the
subsequent actions of reapers R1,R2,R3,...

(3) It is true that God can pass on a sequence of relevant
finite length to any reaper, such that they can act accordingly

(4) Any Reaper Rn will act accordingly iff God passes on the
sequence of relevant finite length to them

(5) If God did pass on the relevant parts of some sequence
to the respective reapers, the sequence would not represent
the subsequent actions of the reapers R1,R2,R3....

Isnt the grim reapers just catchy marketing? The argument is actually about things deriving their existance from previous things. That grim reapers could potentially have agency and act upon information is not relevant imo.
