(unknown): Someone can add a reference here; I'm too lazy right now to do so.

(unknown): I think we could equivalently assume a given oracle not only stores the prediction about the computations and events it's going to be applied to, but also a couple of additional oracles. Thus the same kind of thing can function for the origial idea of an oracle and as the infinite binary tree of oracles that seems to come in handy.
Atravers 22:35, 18 March 2021: So instead of e.g. streams of them, combine the oracle concept with a tree type, to have the features of both:
- see Hancock's name_supply in in Peyton-Jones's The implementation of functional programming languages (section 9.6);
- Augustsson, Rittri, and Synek show how to make it practical in On generating unique names;
- Launchbury and Peyton-Jones provide an implementation of it in State in Haskell (section 10.2)
