Someone else pointed me to Solomonoff induction too, which looks really cool as an "idealised" theory of induction and it definitely solves my question in abstract. But there are obvious difficulties with that in practice, like the fact that it's probably uncomputable, right?
I mean I think even the "Complexity" coefficient should be uncomputable in general, since you could probably use a program which computes it to upper bound "Complexity", and if there was such an upper bound you could use it to solve the halting problem etc. Haven't worked out the details though!
Would be interesting if there are practical algorithms for this. Either direct approximations to SI or maybe something else entirely that approaches SI in the limit, like a recursive neural-net training scheme? I'll do some digging, thanks!
