The agent could be programmed to have a certain hard-coded ontology rather than searching through all possible hypotheses weighted by description length.
My point is, I don’t think it’s possible to implement a strong computationally feasible agent which doesn’t search through possible hypotheses, because solving the optimization problem for the hard-coded ontology is intractable. In other words, what gives intelligence its power is precisely the search through possible hypotheses.
