Actually, you said that it would take you more than a few minutes thought to sort it all out, so let me ask a question which you can hopefully answer more quickly...There are indeed major differences in the foundations. Is there something useful or important that Novamente does, given its foundations, that you could not do if you had a physically realized infinitely powerful computer running Hutter's stuff?
Not really. There is certainly a significant similarity between Hutter's
stuff and the foundations of Novamente, but there are significant
differences too. To sort out the exact relationship would take me more than a few minutes' thought.
Do you *feel intuitively* that there is something useful or important Novamente does, given its foundations, that you could not do if you had a physically realized AIXI?
