“A” and “B” are propositions. Occam’s razor say to anticipate hypotheses about the underlying processes that are producing the data you see that are less “complex” for some definition of “complexity” that probably involves something in conceptspace near solomonoff induction or something.
There is more than one justification of Occam’s razor. The justification in terms P(A) >= P(A & B) has the almost unique advantage off relating directly to truth/probability. Solonmonoff induction doesn’t have that property (in any obvious way) , because SI’s contain programmes, not propositions.
