I agree with Juergen on this: there is no uniform measure over all
programs (nor on all integers).

But in anycase you know I argue, unlike Juergen, that the measure should
be put on all (relative) consistent computational extensions
appearing in UD*. This gives indeed a sort of Weak Turing-tropic
Principle.

In which relative *speed* is a by product, not a prior.
