During the dialogue, Eliezer wanted Robert to distinguish between the “accident hypothesis” and the non-zero hypothesis. He also mentioned that he would see the difference between the two by solomonoff induction, as in the shortest computer program that can output the result seen.
Now, any accident hypothesis involves a random number function, right?
The best random number functions are those that either go beyond the matrix or are very long.
So, does solomonoff induction imply that an intelligent designer is the better hypothesis once the length of the random function exceeds the length sufficient to generate a general intelligence (say humans)?
Which would imply that from studying the randomness of nature and the nature of intelligence, we can figure out some day whether we are in a purposeful or a random universe. Is this correct?
