I have the impression that Solomonoff Induction provides a precise procedure to a very narrow set of problems with little practical applicability elsewhere.
How would you use Solomonoff Induction to choose between the two alternative theories mentioned in the article: one based on Newton’s Force Laws, the other based on the principle of least action. (Both theories have the same range of validity and produce the identical results).
