"Nature has access to random bits" is a very different claim than "nature outputs the uniform distribution."
Many versions of Solomonoff induction, including, I believe, the original, predict that if so far the even bits of the output are all 0 and the odd bits have full complexity, that description will continue to be true in the future.
I'm having trouble figuring out a proof for your last claim... But then again, maybe I'm just being stupid because two other people have tried to explain it to me and I didn't understand their attempts either :-(
These two pages from the 1997 edition of "An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its Applications" seem relevant.
Thanks a lot! I'm now convinced that the claim is true, but have no idea why :-) Will try to work through the proof.
Haven't seen too any of those. Have they even been seriously proposed? This certainly isn't what people usually mean by "Solomonoff induction".
