Perhaps I should have added, less pessimistically, that the simplicty requirement itself could conceivably lead to in-principle verifiable predictions (eg that we are almost certainly in the simplest possible universe containing properly self-aware structures (Yes, I know that idea itself leads to all sorts of reference class considerations)). These kinds of predictions may not distinguish certain different candidate measure bases, but if fulfilled would boost the credibility of AUH ideas generally. Alastair
