It is trivially easy to modify the formalism to search only over fixed-size algorithms, and in fact that’s usually what I do when I run this sort of analysis.
What? Which formalism? I don’t see how this is true at all. Please elaborate or send an example of “modifying” Solomonoff so that all the programs have fixed length, or “modifying” the circuit prior so all circuits are the same size.
No, I’m pretty familiar with your writing. I still don’t think you’re focusing on mainstream ML literature enough because you’re still putting nonzero weight on these other irrelevant formalisms. Taking that literature seriously would mean ceasing to take the Solomonoff or circuit prior literature seriously.
