That's interesting I had never heard of Solomonoff Induction until I read your comment. But how important, philosophically, is the existence of such a system, given that the brain already does exist as the "low fidelity analogue".

The limits on what computers can do are related to logical no-go theorems such as Gödel's which are about proofs -- examples of certain knowledge. But once you have accepted the fallibility or "low fidelity" of human reasoning, then all those no-go theorems are no longer relevant in the first place.
