Near as I can tell, you’re describing the same conjunction rule from your previous comment!
This conjunction rule says that a claim like ‘The laws of physics always hold,’ has less probability than, ‘The laws of physics hold up until September 25, 2015 (whether or not they continue to hold after).’
Solomonoff Induction is an attempt to find a rule that says, ‘OK, but the first claim accounts for nearly all of the probability assigned to the second claim.’

Hrm, yeah. I think I need more tools and experience to be able to think about this properly.
