By my understanding, I would qualify this as "Hutter proved that the *one of the* optimal strategies of a rational error-free goal seeking agent, which has no impact on the environment beyond its explicit output, in an unknown computable environment is AIXI: to guess that the environment is simulated by the shortest program consistent with observation so far" Will Pearson ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=111637683-c8fa51 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
