Researchers have developed a novel approach to address the self-reference problem in non-agentic AI oracles that predict future events. Instead of providing a single probability, which can become irrelevant upon learning, the proposed method generates a credal set representing a range of probabilities. This set is designed to be unbiased and self-consistent with the consequences of its own disclosure, utilizing lattice theory and fixed-point theorems to identify a canonical, non-trivial answer. The framework extends from binary events to arbitrary random variables, with potential for further generalization. AI
