The point is, this mental picture you’re painting—universe has a “true program”, Solomonoff inductor will look at the world, figure that program out, and be correct every time ever after—is, as far as we know, almost certainly not true. (Except perhaps trivially, in form of universe eventually expanding so far that the input is a never-ending stream of zeroes). edit: also, no, it doesn’t make that assumption.
