Tyrrell, um. If “the ball will be visible” is a better theory, then “we will observe some experimental result” would be an even better theory?
Solomonoff induction, the induction method based on Kolmogorov complexity, requires the theory (program) to output the precise experimental results of all experiments so far, and in the future. So your T3 would not be a single program; rather, it would be a set of programs, each encoding specifically one experimental outcome consistent with “the ball is visible.” (Which gets rid of the problem that “we will observe some experimental result” is the best possible theory :))
