Looked at your write-up again… Still no summary of what it is about. Something along the lines of (total BS follows, sorry, I have no clue what you are writing about, since the essay is unreadable as is): “This essay outlines the issues with AIXI built on Solomonoff induction and suggests a number of improvements, such as extending algorithmic calculus with interactive calculus. This extension removes hidden infinities inherent in the existing AIXI models and allows .”
I’m in the process of writing summaries. I replied as soon as I read your response.

You are pretty much the first person to give me feedback on this. I do not have an accurate representation as to how opaque this is at all.
In algorithmic representations:
Separate hypotheses are inseparable.
Hypotheses are required to be a complete world model (account for every part of the input).
Conflicting hypotheses are not able to be held simultaneously. This stems mainly from there being no requirement for running in a finite amount of space and time.
There are other issues with Solomonoff induction in its current form, such as an inability to tolerate error, an inability to separate input in the first place, and an inability to exchange error for simplicity, among others. Some of these are addressable with this particular extension of SI; some are addressable with other extensions.
There is a similar intuition about nondeterministic hypotheses and a requirement that only part of the hypothesis must match the output, as nondeterministic Turing machines can be simulated by deterministic Turing machines via the simulation of every possible execution flow, but that strikes me as somewhat dodgy.
Had a look at your link, but couldn’t make sense of it. Consider writing a proper summary upfront.
This seems an ambitious task. Can you start with something simpler?
Sorry, my writing can get kind of dense.
It doesn’t quite strike me as ambitious; I see a lot of room for improvement. As for starting with something simpler, that’s what this essay was.

How’s that? Every few lines, I give a summary of each subsection. I even double-spaced it, in case that was bothering you.
