I would say researchers need to study the features of the world that make general intelligence possible. What computational structure does the world have that allows us to understand it?

Hutter says:
Ockham's razor principle has been proven to be invaluable for understanding our world. Indeed, it not only seems a necessary but also sufficient founding principle of science. Until other necessary or sufficient principles are found, it is prudent to accept Ockham's razor as the foundation of inductive reasoning. So far, all attempts to discredit the universal role of Ockham's razor have failed.
I searched the posts but didn't find a great deal of relevant information. Has anyone taken a serious crack at it, preferably someone who would like to share their thoughts? Is the material worthwhile? Are there any dubious portions or any sections one might want to avoid reading (either due to bad ideas or for time saving reasons)? I'm considering investing a chunk of time into investigating Legg's work so any feedback would be much appreciated, and it seems likely that there might be others who would like some perspective on it as well.
