Er.. I'll test out the ideas first by implementing them. If correct,
the results should be fairly dramatic and obvious.

Well, my key idea is not relative complexity measures, but the idea
that analogical reasoning is actually more general than Bayesian
induction. I think case-based reasoning can overcome Godel
limitations, since case-based reasoning is not trying to make
universal generalizations (which is where I think Bayes run into
trouble).
