Abstract

Program-search as induction and abduction is one of the key pillars of any sufficiently advanced AGI. In this paper, we present a mechanism to search for programs given a specific bias. This bias is flexible to some degree. Another novel attribute of the mechanism is the use of compression that selects simple programs over complex ones. The complexity of the program is changing all the time over the lifetime of the agent.
