In that case, Ci is MWI, so why draw the distinction?
Yes, no shit Sherlock, why? I do not know. It's called 'interpretations' for a reason. You tell me. I am not the one drawing distinction with posts like this.
Also, in so much as the codes produce identical output, the Solomonoff induction using agent (like AIXI) behaves the same and it doesn't matter what interpretation label you slap onto the shortest model in it.
edit: also, in physics it is important to minimize number of principles, even if that doesn't minimize the predictor code. We want to derive apparent collapse from the de-coherence, even if predictor code is the same. That's because we do look for understanding, you know, intellectual curiosity and all that.
