simplest explanation is the best explanation, ultimate reality is absolutely simple, true understanding is literally data compression, to perfectly compress chaotic dataset, system must discover fundamental laws governing it, better a system compresses the past, better it will predict the future, shortest possible computer program, the shortest algorithm, all events trace back to a prime mover, all datasets trace back to a root generative program, truth is the intellect perfectly matching reality, truth is a model perfectly compressing data, universe moves toward predetermined ends, the root algorithm dictates future states
