Right now I’m not sure there’s any “deep truth” about applying SI to our world.
Solomonoff induction isn’t particularly optimal at real tasks. Its performance on real-world tasks will depend somewhat on the choice of reference machine.
In particular, there’s the troubling possibility that SI’s answers to your questions will depend on how you intend to use these answers!
I don’t think so. I put my criticism of that idea there.
