> If Occam's razor is presented as a truth (which is pretty subjective, as it depends on what we/someone considers "simple"). It doesn't though. Firstly, Occam's razor is not about simplicity but about "parsimony". Parsimony is calculated in information theory via Kolmogorov complexity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity This then lets us describe how to do induction so it provably converges in the fastest way possible, Solomonoff Induction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomonoff%27s_theory_of_inductive_inference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomonoff%27s_theory_of_induc... Arguably, this can be seen as a formalization of the scientific process.
