I suspect that to you “Occam’s Razor” refers to this law (I don’t think that’s the usual interpretation, but it’s reasonable). However this law does not make a prior. It does not say anything about whether we should prefer a 6-state Turing machine to a 100-state TM, when building a model. Try using the laws of probability to decide that.
the Occamian prior should hold true
Priors don’t “hold true”, that’s a type error (or at least bad wording).
Laws of probability say that

That is indeed what it means in my mind.
I agree that it was bad wording. Perhaps something more along the lines of “should work well.”
