Pei,
That is actually not correct...
I would teach a baby AIXI about the same way I would teach a baby
Novamente, but I assume the former would learn a lot faster... so the
various stages of instruction would be passed through a lot more
quickly....
Furthermore, I expect that the same cognitive structures that would
develop within a Novamente during its learning process, would also
develop within an AIXI during its learning process -- though in the
AIXI these cognitive structures would exist within the "currently
active program" being used to choose behaviors (due to its being
chosen as optimal during AIXI's program space search).
Please note that both AIXI and Novamente are explicitly based on
uncertain probabilistic inference, so that in spite of the significant
differences between the two (e.g. the latter can run on feasible
computational infrastructure, and is much more complicated due to the
need to fulfill this requirement), there is also a significant
commonality.

Ben,
For example, I guess most of your ideas about how to train Novamente
cannot be applied to AIXI. ;-)
