Exactly — that was the surprising part for me too.
The system has no notion of “physics” at all — it’s just searching for
compressible structure in the data.
The fact that GR relations emerge from observables suggests that
a lot of what we call “laws” might just be the simplest compressions
of measurement space.

Still early, but curious how far this goes.
