Although we can not rigorously say this yet since we have not chosen a definition of agent, I think this intuitively applies and therefore (H2) can only hold when you are restricted to some set of tasks, perhaps "reasonable tasks", yea.

I wonder if in the stochastic inteprretation of task this issue disappears because "No Free Lunch" tasks that "diagonalize against a model in a particular fashion have very low probability.

What do you mean by a product topology here? The product topology being used for a stochastic processes? That requires a topology on the state space in the first place. Right now I have not specified any topologies.

Regarding the stochastic aspect, I have thought about that, but so far I have not yet seen a benefit by including it because any stochastic approach can somehow be seen as just a deterministic approach on the level of distributions. I.e. if a Model M is actually a random variable, and a task T is also a random variable, then the important thing,... (read more)

To clarify, suppose that the agents are chatbots. Then given a sequence of previous messages M, it outputs a probability distribution over the next message that the agent wants to say. For example, if the task is rock-paper-scissors, it would output a probability distribution with three possible outputs, "rock", "paper", and "scissors", each with 1/3 probability. Under this structure, there is a product topology indexed over the set is sequences of messages. If you only want to use the structure defined in the post, another topology would be the finest topology that makes your two operations continuous.

Let me try rephrase is in more conventional probability theory. You are looking at a metric space of universes . You probably want to take the Borel-sigma algebra as your collection of events. We think of propositions as sets , which really just means is a subset which is not too irregular. Then thebindicator function is if A holds in universe and otherwise.

Your elaborations do not depend much on the time so we set .

You now talk about picking a universe uniformly from a ball . This is a problem. On finite... (read more)
