I’ll take your point and I should have said “there is much more to practical intelligence” than just one simple principle—because yes at the limits I agree that universal intelligence does have a compact description.
AIXI is related to finding a universal TOE—a simple theory of physics, but that doesn’t mean it is actually computationally tractable. Creating a practical, efficient simulation involves a large series of principles.

That looks a lot like the intellectual equivalent of “lift” to me.
An implementation may not be that simple—but then aeroplanes are not simple either.
The point was not that engineered artefacts are simple, but that they are only rarely the result of reverse engineering biological entities.
