Well, that depends to choice of prior. Some priors don’t penalize theories for the “size” of the hypothetical world, and in those, max. size of the world grows faster than any computable function of length if it’s description, and when you assign improbability depending to length of description, basically, it fails. Bigger issue is defining what the ‘real world paperclip count’ even is.
