The fact that "uncomputability" is brought up with regard to executable codes as opposed to statistical codes (Rissannen) for model selection is base sophistry to avoid the clarity of algorithmic codes. Computability is not and never has been the point regarding model selection. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T5b182c3fd14f61e9-M2ce6aaa05c587de3b7c6d878 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
