Life Is Simple: How Occam's Razor Set Science Free and Shapes the Universe
by Johnjoe McFadden · 27 Sep 2021
Big Bang, its bones remain simple. This book is about uncovering those bones – the simple building blocks of our universe – with a tool known as Occam’s razor, named after a Franciscan friar called William of Occam, who lived seven centuries before Penzias and Wilson. My own interest in simplicity began at a

According to an extrapolation of Occam's razor, a compact enough program solving enough problems drawn from a distribution can only be found if there is simple structure underlying the distribution and the

By a proposed extrapolation of Occam's razor, such a concise effective program would only exist if the world posing the problems had an underlying structure that the program exploits to solve the

indicated that many computations are inherently time consuming, how does the mind work so amazingly fast? Computational learning theory has explained generalization as arising from Occam's razor. The most studied context is concept learning, where one sees a series of classified examples, and desires to learn a function that will predict correctly

exploits structure in the process producing the data. The literature also contains results that say, roughly speaking, the only way learning is possible is through Occam's razor. Such no-go theorems are never air tight - there's a history of other no-go theorems being evaded by some alternative that escaped conception

many problems involving them (for example, to determine if a 50 digit number is even). My working hypothesis is that our mathematical abilities arise from Occam's razor. Roughly speaking, we have these abilities because there is a real a priori structure underlying mathematics, and evolution discovered modules that exploit it, for example

modules that invoke more basic modules. Experience suggests that complex programs must be built in such a modular fashion, sometimes called an abstraction hierarchy. The Occam's razor hypothesis suggests that the modules coded in the genome are meaningful precisely in the sense that powerful programs can be built on top of them

ever more powerful superstructure on top of the innately coded programming. In summary, computational learning theory has made a compelling case that generalization comes from Occam's razor. Understanding can be explained by a simple extrapolation of this as arising from evolution of a compact genomic program that builds a set of procedures

AI programs do not seem to display ``understanding" [8]. These programs were not compact or constrained. Mostly, they were simply built by human programmers without Occam's razor in mind. Arguably, AI programs that have displayed some understanding have been built on very compact structures. For example, the core of chess programs such

than I do in understanding a chess position. The main point I am making, however, is that generalization and thus understanding follows from an extrapolated Occam's razor. When you find a very constrained program that's effective on a large collection of examples, so constrained that it should not exist unless there
