No. The concept doesn't enter consideration. What he considers is that
the Great Programmer has finite (or perhaps bounded resources), which
gives an additional boost to algorithms that run efficiently.
thatæ„€ the problem that I insist, has a natural solution considering
the computational needs of living beings under natural selection,
without resorting to a everithing-theory of reality based of a UD
algorithm, like the Schmidhuber one.

Dear Alberto,
My suspicion is that there does *not* exist a single global
computation of the behavior of living (or other) beings and that
"natural selection" is a local computation between each being and its
environment. We end up with a model where there are many computations
occurring concurrently and there is no single computation that can
dovetail all of them together such that a picture of the universe can be
considered as a single simulation running on a single computer except
for a very trivial case (where the total universe is in a bound state
and at maximum equilibrium).

Onward!
