Control theory: worked with some smart folks when it came to designing plant control systems. All of it was human labor. There was zero intelligence on the part of the tools and all parameters had to be figured out by the person designing the control stategy.

Causal induction: sounds interesting until you dig in and realize everything is non-computable.

So what exactly is your point?

Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomonoff%27s_theory_of_induc.... Follow the chain a little bit and you'll come to things like: http://www.hutter1.net/publ/aixiaxiom2.pdf. Super interesting but very impractical.

Causal induction is a different thing from Solomonoff Induction.
