Hmm, it depends on whether or not you can give finite complete descriptions of those algorithms, if so, I don't see the problem with just tagging them on. If you can give finite descriptions of the algorithm, then its komologorov complexity will be finite, and the prior: 2^-k(h) will still give nonzero probabilities to hyper environments.

If there are no such finite complete descriptions, then I gotta go back to the drawing board, cause the universe could totally allow hyper computations.

On a side note, where should I go to read more about hyper-computation?
