This is what I thought at first, but on reflection, it’s not quite right.
Could you explain a little more the distinction between the position preceding this remark and that following it? They seem like different formulations of the same thing to me.
I’ll give it a shot. Solomonoff induction doesn’t even mention photons, so the statement about the photon doesn’t follow directly from it. Solomonoff induction just tells you about the general laws, which then you can use to talk about photons. So “belief in the implied invisible” means you’re going through this two-step process, rather than directly computing probabilities about photons.
