Line 304:

The article [[N-universes]] mentions "Occam's razor" and it got me to think: surely grue is not minimal from the complexity point of view? Complexity, here, would be [[Kolmogorov complexity]] or [[Solomonoff induction]]. Such an argument is similar to the Bayesian argument discussed above, wherein one assumes that priors must be minimal. To be precise, though, I am obliged to point out that complexity is language dependent, so its possible that there are aliens who would find grue more parsimonious than green, although Kolomogorov complexity puts a limit on the scope of such languages, and such paradoxes... has no philosopher yet attacked this question from this angle?

So there's a river in Italy called Grue along with a city in Norway and a blue/green language paradox? LOL...Europe gonna get eaten by a [[Grue (monster)|Grue]]! --[[User:Lorem Ipsum Generator|████]][[User talk:Lorem Ipsum Generator|██]] 22:24, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
