On the problem of distinguishing between Turing machines of the kinds you mentioned, does Jürgen Schmidhuber's idea of a speed prior help at all? Searching for "speed prior" here on Less Wrong didn't really turn up any previous discussion.

Hmm, I had not seen the speed prior before. It seems to make strong testable predictions about how the universe functions. I'll have to look into it.
