I use the word "prior" in the sense of priors as mathematical objects, meaning all of your starting information plus the way you learn from experience.
I can't quite place "you need a notion of event, and that is determined by your prior", but I guess the mapping between sample space and possible observations is what you meant.
Well yes, you can have "priors" that you have learned from experience. An uncomputable world is not a problem in that case either - since you can learn about uncomputable physics, in just the same way that you learn about everything else.
This whole discussion seems to be a case of people making a problem out of nothing.
